As long as the gambling isnt an addiction and it isnt over what can be affordable.

It can work. Just make sure he is not addicted to it. The marriage wont last long if he gambles the house away. You can also make the gambling rounds into a romantic night. I don't know where you live but there are some boat casinos. After hes finished go to the top deck under the night moon. Things like that.

Umm-m, that's kinda like asking, Can a marriage work if one person drinks every night and the other one doesn't like it so much. Well, as long as they don't gamble the house away, I guess that's not too bad. But when it gets to the point where the gambling takes over, or the drinking takes over, and there's not enough to pay the bills, yeah, then you got a problem. When somebody loses their sense of priorities, yeah, it's a problem. But if he can afford it, and you're not deprived because of it, why worry about it? If he's a decent man who works hard for his money, provides for those he loves, who cares what he does with whatever little is left over? He's earned it. Guess it boils down to, How much do I love this person, and is he good to me? Does it affect the quality of our family life? And if he is so wonderful to you, then why are you worried about it? Why begrudge him a pleasure? Count your your blessings that he's not sitting in a bar somewhere blowing his paycheck there. At least he's home with you, and trusts you enough to let you know where the money is being spent. And hey, you know what, maybe one day his gambling will pay off, just as it did for you in accepting him for who he is. You're going in with eyes wide open, which is more than most of us ignorant women in love do. I give you credit for that, and for caring and asking. Bottom line...what are you willing to put up with for the rest of your life? Can you deal with it and accept it for part of who he is, or not? That's only something you can decide in the end. Blessings.

The marriage could work as long as he doesn't take his gambling too far. Then u would have a problem

A marriage is all about compromises. If it doesn't bother you, it shouldn't be a problem. I am sure you do things, that he is not interested in. However, you need to find something that you both enjoy doing together. It'll work.

As long as he doesn't become addicted to it. My EX hubby did and that's why he is my ex. He spent all of our money at the casino...just make sure he's playing it safe
