This looks like a picture from around 1930, right after the stock crash. The man just lost all his money. The woman, she's in shock.
He's probably despairing from the abject failure of his ability to support his family.
Then the message is right, if he was single he wouldn't have to worry about supporting a family.
No, he'd be in the same state, as he can't support himself anymore, and possibly worse because he does not have someone to help him and/or give comfort.
She'd be in the same state because she would be married to someone else who had similar problems, or worse if she were a spinster. Back then, women didn't have a lot of options to support themselves.
