Your wife will probably know there is something wrong with you that requires you to go see a Dr long before you even thing about it. Men who are not married have a significantly lower life expectancy then men who are married.

Downsizing, Foreclosures and bankruptcy due to medical bills seem to be the norm for every news cast and newspaper headline at the moment. These situations put huge pressure on couples , your marriage can really suffer when finances become difficult to cope with.

If your spouse is already the type of person who suffers from some stress related problems then now is the time for you to be watching their behavior closer than ever before. There is nothing that can pile on the stress like a job loss and all the financial woes that follow.

A job loss, medical bills piling up and foreclosure looming can push the best of us towards panic and anxiety, as a married couple you should be willing to work together and face these financial problems and discuss the panic that can be caused by financial worries.

How will you know if the financial pressures are pushing your partner towards an anxiety attack? Well you should be able to notice changes in the way they behave around you and also the way they behave in the lead up to social situations and during the social situations themselves.

Suffering from anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of and you should speak to your partner about it as soon as you start seeing symptoms. As a couple you can discuss the stress that may be triggering the anxiety attacks. Do not fall into the blame game, it is very easy in times of financial stress to try and blame someone and that is usually the person nearest to you.

Once you have started to talk about the anxiety then you can arrange to go and see a Dr together, the Dr may not want the partner who is not suffering in the actual meeting but you should go along for support at the very least.

Remember that your marriage is more important than any property, you can always get another house while it is a lot harder to build up the love and friendship that comes with years of marriage.
