It is true what you say,but this can happen to someone who was not addicted to gambling before marriage.If one was addicted to it before he gets married,there is nothing responsibility can ever do about it.The reason they call it addiction is because it is very hard to stop.How do you think the family can make some one who has been an addict to gambling stop?When he is looking for more money to take care of his family's needs and the needs of his baby or wife,instead,the habbit will increase more because he really wants to meet up the needs of the family.
But you can easily change if you weren't really addicted to gambling before settling down.
I believe a person addicted to gambling even before settling down and getting married can still change his habit and quit gambling. Responsibility has a way of changing people. Obviously, not everyone can become responsible just by settling down. That’s when the spouse in the relationship has a good influence on the behavior of the man.
I know with an addiction, it’s very difficult to stop but it’s still very possible to quit. And with an understanding and loving spouse, the man, if he values his family would do anything possible to keep the family together including striving hard to quit his gambling habit.
