Love Prevents Sins

We've heard it said that charity, the pure love of Christ, "covers" a multitude of sins, but I think it may be more accurate to say that love prevents a multitude of sins. The more we love others, the less tempted we are to sin against them, and the same thing goes with God; the more we love Him, the less we are tempted to sin against Him. Granted, the temptation will still be there, but we're less likely to sin against our loved ones than against random strangers, specifically because we love them. When we love people, we don't want to hurt them. Sin hurts. So, when we strongly love others, we won't want to sin against them.
