In my experience it is not possible to have gamblers get married together as what I experience is most of the family doesn't encourage gambling there is lot of clashes and misunderstand in the family due to gambling only. Till date I didn't met anybody may be in future possible. Because now women getting paid more in their jobs and possible they also need some relaxation and they might find their life partner there itself.
gamblers may choose to spend their leisure time gambling , this can lead a partner or family member to worry that the gambler does not care about them anymore, or that they are somehow less important , this can lead to emotional distance or tension in the relationship
Me and my wife are both gambled in casino and even online that is our way sometimes to bond because that is one of the things that we can do without our kids. I don't think that there is a problem with that as long as you both played just for fun and not being addicted in gambling.
Anyone who has ever been or are in a committed relationship or marriage where both people gamble? Or in a relationship with a gambler with a friend, best friend, family related etc... Knowing you are in it together is weird comforting and gives me some sort of undefined explanation.

I think gambling should not be done with close people. As in gambling one has to lose and if you make lose your near and dear ones, not only you will hurt them but also you will not feel good as you have earned form your near ones.
I suggest you to always play gambling with strangers as it gives good feeling on winning.

Exactly, I completely agree with your saying that one should not gamble with his relative because in gambling when one losses, he becomes hatred to the person from whom he had lost his money. It’s a natural thing and no one can stop this from happening and if the winner is your relative then gambling can disturb your family relationship which is not a good thing for your loving ones. If both gamblers are relative, they should play without betting for fun only. I suggest you to always play gambling with strangers as it gives good feeling on winning.

Yeah i have a really close friend of mine who is a gambler and there is nothing sort of weird about that. We even play together sometimes and its great. But , on the other hand i also have relative of mine who also gamble and even knows about me so here comes a bit of awkwardness and i feel really embarrassing and clumsy in front of him. I kind of avoid having too much talk with him.What does that look like for you? Your experience needs to be heard.
I guess family sees gambling differently from what a friend or someone outside your family might see. Maybe the family expected so much from you after their investment in you but a friend you meet on the streets who might probably not know how you started out life will be cool with anything including your gambling lifestyle.

Actually i don't see that working because gambling is fueled by recklessness, solo choices based on how you feel and that would kill any relationship because they're based on mutual decisions. I would hate if my girlfriend started to tell me how to play my hands in poker even tho she may be right, i prefer doing the wrong choice alone than the right one together when it comes to gambling
That's profound, it's best to go solo on your games that have a nosy partner tell you what to do. I al,so like to make my mistakes alone without needing a corrector sort of person close to me and so gambling and relationships can never be married together in any way else there will be total chaos in the end.

no. i have seen couples gambling together but most of the time they are fighting because when they win they are happy but when they lost one of them blame the other for making choices or why did he or she not listen to the other and this and that that often times lead to fight and separation which is not good for those who are married with children because it is not only them that suffer but their children also.That's living life in the fast lane. Full of emotions, fast and in full. I support couples that gamble together. It can be a bonding activity even when you lose. People tend to be drawn together by an event that affects both of them in the same time like an accident, robbery, and a gambling loss fits here perfectly.
Oh yeah, it could really be bonding moments for most of them. Although I have seen couples argue in a land based casino. LOL. But at the end of the day, they will step aside their arguments and play once again as a couple. That's the definition of really living life in its fullest. They may have arguments and fighting even inside the casino but when they both go home I think all animosity is gone, except for some regrets.
Well that will create a lively home and entertaining but arguments over money can be that bad especially among couple because they are living together and for each of them to seek their own means there are cracks in their relationship and will be unhealthy in the long run.

That's right you should stand firmly with your decisions of not making yourself into bind of gambling and if the worst scenario can lead us to loss more form gambling, then its better to stay away from it. Maybe those unknown individuals find it good to gamble, but the effect of it can be contagious and could lead them to problematic family relationships due to lack of priority and time management for the family. Its better to prevent that relationships to be ruined by gambling in an earlier time rather than making it all worst.

I am trying to imagine me and my wife always going to the casino to play some games. It would be fun though knowing you have someone you can always share the fun with and unless you both see it as fun, then that is when you will both be enjoying it, but if someone starts drifting and becoming unable to control the greed impulse, that is where problem would definitely start. But really, it sounds fun.What does that look like for you? Your experience needs to be heard.
I think if both of you really always doing gambling at the casino, well, I feel both of you considered as addicted with it because it seems you put it on your list of everyday activities that you have. It's can destroy your family relationship because it can affects your children to be a bad influence for them that they think in the first place doing gamble is good. So later on if the time will come that they will be a big enough then they do gambling as well because this is what they had seen to both of you since when they were still child and could start of their journey going to be addicted of it.

Why not??
Winning on gambling against someone that we know personally wont hurt them, people should know that it is a risk on gambling. If someone is hurt because he/she lose on gambling against his close friends then he should not do gambling with anyone. Gambling against close friend is even more fun IMO as we can do it with full of laugh no matter we win or lose. This is my own experience though as it has been an old tradition on my area to gambling against neighbor or friends.
Snip
I have seen some examples where gamblers started staying away from their families just because they did not want them to know about their gambling habits. Gambling has really destroyed many families and made many families suffer a lot.
I've seen people like that. They forgot their family, they never think about them if they are fine or if they are eating right on time. But when all their money is gone, they return home, then fight with their wives. It is becoming a daily routine to them.
They never think about their future, when they grow old, and how will their children react if the gambler asks money to them. Gambling addicts should think about it.
It is because they are lost in the world of gambling, they don't care about their family since they are too focused about winning back their loses, what's important to them is their own benefits, their own satisfaction. Relationship will just come after gambling, even though they are losing their love ones, they don't even gives a shit, they are too numb to feel their family concerns about them on getting more addicted.
Yeah! Not even gamblers but also the other people who don’t use to gamble would also have nothing left in their lives when they will lose these two things in their lives i.e. family and money. Between these two things family had a great importance than the money because without money, one can live but without family, life becomes just like a hollow sphere. Gambler’s family doesn’t agree because they know that the society would dislike him for his doings.

Gambling while your bf/gf is like that then stop if they have problem with the gambling.I think also gambling can affect a relationship but if you only abuse yourself or you're become addict and no time to other person in your life.Gambling is for fun only not to destroy a relationship so think always if you abuse it.Relationship is good but you need to take care of it than gambling
