In many ways, difficult events, like job loss, can make a relationship stronger. If the relationship is founded on less fundamental foundations, such as those that depend on a certain socioeconomic level, those foundations will falter when times get hard. There's something really wonderful about knowing that if everything does go to hell, you can still count on your partner to be there and love you. I just reread my article, and I realized how badly it needs to be edited. Argh, sorry folks.

Also, thanks for putting it into perspective (men don't always act one way and neither do women). I lost my job and the support of my husband really saved me. Thank you for the information.
