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.

If someone is not married and is addicted to gambling, maybe he will not think about marriage because his focus is only on gambling. He will remain alone without wanting to do anything more useful than just gambling. But it will be different when he is married because if his gambling activities become known to his partner, he will be involved in a conversation or discussion with his partner about his gambling activities. His partner will advise him to reduce his gambling addiction and will even ask him to stop gambling by visiting a rehabilitation center. His partner does not want to see him continue to have a gambling addiction and wants to help him cure his gambling addiction.

I think no one wants a partner who is addicted to gambling unless you are rich cause despite your habit, you can still manage financially. It would be better if you meet someone and plan to be in a committed relationship, try to change yourself first, cause I think it is been normalized that a man would rely upon their partner just to change their bad traits. Well, if you are already married there is a lot of distraction in life that you can do that you can even forget about gambling, like for example having a date, doing chores, work or even sex, etc. Just want to say that do not use marriage as a way of escape from your addiction, cause you are involving another party which I think is not a good thing.
