so aside from gambling responsibly, will you agree that we should disclose our gambling habits or is it not the business of our spouses?


I believe if one has a partner, and they are married, one must disclose anything about the gambling activity.  This way it will lessen the impact of unknown gambling activity.

We all know that overengagement in gambling affects the players time spent to his family.  And when unlucky, gambling irresponsibly often eats up the family budget.  And when a family is hungry or has insufficient funds for daily living, conflict between partners arises. The couples will keep on arguing until one had enough and think of a break up.

does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?

As much as gambling can make to stranger be friend, it also has the capacity to break up relationships, including marriage.

Well I don't see the actual connection between Gambling & devorce. If you ask me it's the mentality and the commitment to your partner for the reason of Devorce. If you are gonna steal your partner's money, or express your stress , dissatisfaction on your partner's than it should lead to devorce. You should be truthful to your partner.

Irresponsible gambling can lead to a broken family.  That said, gambling has a connection to divorce and breakups.  It is a series of interconnected relationship of event. When a person became an irresponsible gambler, he tend to gamble excessively to the point that he won't be able to sustain his family needs.  When there is insufficent supply and hunger, the partner knowing that the reason for the family suffering that fate is gambling will speak to the gambler partner.  From there conflict and misunderstanding occurs.  If the misunderstanding and conflict not fixed and extended for  long time, the other party will have enough and just give up the relationship resulting to divorce.
