Hi Pula. As a Brit and mentor, but not a teacher, I would advise as follows:
I would have no problems, personally, with sentences 1 & 2.
In 3, I would have said: " ... behind, it will/would be to the detriment of her marriage".
Similarly, in 4, I would have said: " ... will/would [eventually] be to the detriment of his health".
Also, if you
had been able to use the verb "brings" it would have been "bring", as "passion" is singular.
Hope this helps
