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?
Depending on the situation but as partners, there should be no more secrets anymore. That's the reason why you're already tied up to your partner and you shouldn't hide any secrets longer. The reason for most divorce and break ups are not really affairs but about financial matters. And gambling is one of the reason why someone in the relationship is having a break down of his finances because of potential gambling addiction.
Keeping secrets can ruin a marriage in the long run, most especially if it’s all about finances that is one of those important factors to make a married life works. So if one is addicted with gambling, he shouldn’t deal with it alone, what’s the purpose of having a spouse anyway. You don’t make a problem solved alone, but you have a partner to help you with.
