Thanks for the reply. I am hoping someone who has experienced a spouse with a gambling addiction will respond. I am not sure there is anything I can do to help him besides pray, because, as you said, unless he wants to stop, it may be useless. The book Created to be His Helpmeet I was referring to is by Debi Pearl and it is called Created to be His Helpmeet. Many are offended by it, and some parts were hard for me to swallow but I have come to believe she is right on. You can find it on the Pearls' website at NoGreaterJoy.org, I believe. Thanks again and I will check in on your sitch.
