is there a connection between gambling and divorce rate?

Research from the National Gambling Impact Study Commission and the Gambling Impact and Behavior Study indicates that divorce rates for those dealing with gambling issues are estimated to be around 40% for problem gamblers and approximately 54% for pathological gamblers.

i think the moment we hide our gambling habits from our partners that is the moment we will get in trouble because that is when trust crumbles and when you get in trouble in gambling and have to tell your partner you will be surprising them

not to mention some people also spend money from money that both the partners contributed in

so aside from gambling responsibly, will you agree that we should disclose our gambling habits or is it not the business of our spouses? does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?

It can greatly increase the divorce rate if the gambler is in addiction and does not care about his family at all, he has only one thing in mind and that is to gamble no matter what. Very few women if any would accept such reckless behavior and normally the amount of divorce would only grow by such persons, I know a lot of such persons who had a married life, happily married life and they lost every thing because of addiction to gambling. I was addicted myself but not to the point to not care about my family and thinking about my daughter brought me into stopping massive amounts of money thrown into slot machines.
