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.
Well, it’s awkward but in a way, it seems that’s how the both of them do connect, through gambling. At least, they’ve got something in common, something to talk about, something that bonds them together so, why would you want to take that away from them. You might end up breaking their relationship.
Instead of either of them having to stop, I think they are better off, discussing there gambling options, what bets to take and not take, what stakes to make, what limits to set on there gambling habits and they might just find some means to manage their homes even with the gambling. There might not really be a need to quit the way, just some effective management of the situation.
If for that couple gambling is indeed a harmless hobby then you will be right, given that they have enough money to sustain two people to gamble with their salaries.
However while there is nothing wrong with gambling, there are so many other options for a couple to bond together that I do not see why they could not replace it with some other activity if they felt like it, and once kids enter the picture, it may be a good idea to do it simply because of the added costs a children represents.
