Can video games destroy a marriage?

Obviously,  there are many factors that go into a divorce.

But according to a recent study, more women who are filing for divorce are complaining that their husbands spend too much time playing video games.

The study was conducted by Divorce Online.

Of the women who cited unreasonable behavior for their divorce, 15 percent said their partners put gaming before them.

Just a year ago, only about 5 percent believed that.

Many specifically blamed the games 'World of Warcraft' and 'Call Of Duty'.

What do you think?
Does your spouse or loved one put videos games before you or their relationships with other people?
