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.

Maybe a better question is who is safe to gamble, because there are too many scenarios where people should not be playing and should quit it altogether. Having a fair amount of disposable income is a good start, far too many people who are barely scraping by money-wise still think it is a good idea to spend what little they have on extremely speculative and zero sum games like this. Which is highly dependent on a second criteria - you need to understand the basic math involved with betting, and that you are more likely to be killed by a shark, than you are to make it big in a place like a casino - all the games you're pouring money in have been statistically rigged against, but occasionally you'll get little cookies back that trick your brain into believing you're a winner. Do your research and understand how the numbers really work before giving up your hard earned cash.

When both husband and wife does generate out that huge income or source of money that they do have and spending up some dime amounts in gambling then doesnt matter if both of them is really that involved on gambling on which we know that it wont really be that much of an issue if they would really be just that tending to have that kind of control on which this isnt something that simple.
There would really be needing on quitting in between two if you do both are really that responsible when it comes to those priorities. Gambling is really just that for fun but on the time
that you are overexerting already when it comes to spending and the time that had been spent then this is where it would be considered to be bad already.
