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?
Gambling can destroy your family if you gamble excessively, leading to addiction. Some people lose their fortunes due to gambling. This happens frequently in my community. Those who gamble and lose their fortunes end up divorcing their wives, and even having their families throw them out because they can no longer be taught to break free from the gambling cycle.

However, a wife needs a man who can control himself and lead his family. A man must create peace within the family, both spiritually and materially, for the sake of his family's life. If a man cannot do this, the woman will leave him.
