Being There for Your Spouse After They Face Job Loss By: Vivian Bricker "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" (Romans 12:12). Facing a job loss is never pleasant. It can make us feel like failures. It is difficult for us to face a job loss of our own, yet it is even harder to see our spouse go through it. This is especially true if our spouse loved their job. It will also place a financial strain on our marriage, which can affect our marriage in very negative ways. My dad lost his job before I was born, and my mom had to become the primary breadwinner from the start of their marriage. The financial strain this placed on their marriage continued throughout my mom's entire life. My dad started a new job as an author; however, he didn't make much money from this occupation. Royalties paid very little, and they only came in once or twice a year. |
