Anyone who has ever been or are in a committed relationship or marriage where both people gamble? Or in a relationship with a gambler with a friend, best friend, family related etc...  Knowing you are in it together is weird comforting and gives me some sort of undefined explanation.

What does that look like for you? Your experience needs to be heard.
In my own opinion i don't like if both of you (couple) are into gambling. If it involves money and the lack of it usually shakes up the relationship. Good if you keep on winning but when you start to lose that's the time when your relation will be dented and usually leads to break-up. Have seen that myself.

I think there are only two different views that may result to a couple who both gamble. One is that they will have strong bond that may result to stronger relationship. Their hobby, which is gambling may be a good experience that they may enjoy and share together. On the other hand, this may also be the cause of their misunderstanding that may affect their relationship
Precisely, if they use this habits to make a stronger bonds then they will enjoy their healthy relationship as they will continue enjoying their partnership alongside with this activity, there's no danger if they both have good limitations and money management to avoid huge loses, if they can deal with that then they will build strong relationship ahead of them.
And how often you see someone with Limitations and good money management? It is very easy to say this but in reality a hell of a task. Now suppose that the couple starts enjoying this game more as together as they used to individually, how can you expect them to stay in limits afterwards? They would rather spend more time and money enjoying the game together. I don't really like this idea of having a partner with same disease as me.
