Hey house someone need a few clips here, don't know if a post of this exact nature has been discussed though.
In a situation where the both spouse are gamblers. Husband gambles, wife gambles, how can both of them manage the situation in terms of finance and the family affairs especially when children are now involve so that the time both spends on gambling doesn't affect family moments and affairs in general.
Would it help if one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.
This is not a simple situation. But who will feel better if the spouse leaves? Second spouse, children? No, this is not a solution to the issue; it is simply an evasion of responsibility. It will be better for the family if none of the spouses leaves, but both quit playing if they cannot control it and problems have already arisen. If one of them just stops playing, this will not solve the issue, because the second one will sooner or later bring him back. This is an addiction, but God will help you cope with any addiction, including gambling.
The question is: is gambling the only source of income for the couple so that their family can survive? But if they have other sources of profit, for me, it's better for one of them to give.
Then they should think of other resources that can produce profit, and when they can establish earnings in the business they thought of, they will decide to quit little by little so that at least their stopping will not be sudden and not difficult. on their part. Because the sudden stop is difficult, there will still be temptation in the end. It seems that it is still a matter of fighting themselves, of course.
