I am amazed by the "lost his wife" part. What did she say in her wedding vows, "I take you as a husband from this day forward and until our combined income falls below 75% of the average income over the previous 3 years"?

I'm sure it wasn't the direct result of job loss but the events that escalated after the fact. Any married person knows the stress job loss has on a relationship after extended periods of unemployment.
Financial stress is a huge cause of divorces.
This kind of story is not so uncommon, you know.
Don't get married until you understand this phenomenon.
