I know a lot of people have lost jobs in recent times and had to go through some changes. Here's my advice
MAN
-Please understand your wife is not accustomed with working, she has been depending on you since she got married all of a sudden she has to work and still do her house chores. It can be quite stressful
-Gently reassure her things will get better, this is only a phase and not the end.
-Appreciate her occasionally. "Ha my wife thank God for you oh. What will we have done. You are one strong woman". I tell you she will never complain
- Please pick up after yourself at least, am not saying you should do all the house chores but do what you can. Try not to add to the work load. Like throwing your shoes and cloths all over the place.
-I know you are looking for other jobs but please don't lay on the couch all day pressing phone and watching TV. Call some Entrepreneur friends and ex -customers find out if they have anything for you in the mean time, ask if you can hang around, you never know something might pop up. For supervising or PA you might 5k to 10k I know its small but you've got something in your pocket and you are learning new skills while you wait for your dream job. These days for introduction Mr A to Mr B you can get 10% commission without being involved in the job. But you might never know who needs what by laying on your couch all day.

WOMAN
-This is a good time to praise your man, not insult him. Say something like" I never knew this is what it feels like to work from 7am to 5pm" . Help build his self esteem and appreciate him for all the times he provided.
-Assure him it will soon be over
-Instead of complaining, thank God you got a job at this crucial time otherwise what will you all live on. Look on the positive side. Bad situation + bad attitude isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
-Kindly prioritize and cut down unnecessary spending. You don't have to prove anything to anyone.
-Watch your words, tone and body language . He is highly sensitive, almost everything sounds like an insult to him right now.
