When is it necessary, if ever, for a married man/woman to quit playing (online) video games?

i-wonder asked:


Is it proper or even fair to ask your spouse to stop playing online video games if it is one of their interest or their way to relieve stress? When is the proper time to ask this (as in before or after marriage)? How should one ask?

    I really don’t think it would be fair to ask them to stop doing something they enjoy completely, but it would be perfectly proper to tell them to tone it down if you think they are doing it too excessively.

    When to do it wouldn’t really matter, it’s my personal belief that if something is bothering you, you should get it off your chest asap, just do it in a nice manner and it shouldn’t be a problem.

    How to do it would probably depend on the persons personality, but again, do it in a nice manner and it shouldn’t be a big deal.

    I would say it is not fair to ask to stop playing but it’s fair to ask to cut down if it getting in the way of things, but if it’s a way to relieve stress/hobby it’s should be good right? you should do it after marriage because it will be easier to resolve things

    Is the online video game playing excessive? Is their playing interfering with their job, health, marriage, etc? Video games can be viewed like alcohol. Fine in moderation, destructive in excess.

    Additionally, everyone needs time to themselves in a relationship. If video games (online or not) is how the individual likes to spend this alone time, I don’t see any harm in that.
