Ahh, the ugliness of private sector work. I am assuming you worked in the private sector. If so and you didn't have a contract, it is nothing more than a case of At-Will Employment. Fired or let go on any grounds or no grounds, as long as it doesn't violate any state laws or statutes related to race, gender, sex, age, religion. But if you got fired and it goes against anything written in the employee handbook, you may have a case. You could try to take the company to court, but they'll find some way to win as long as they didn't fire you or lay you off due to discrimination of any sort. You have my sympathy. Sorry to hear about that.
Are you in a union?
Also, out of curiosity, how old are you? I ask because you said the wife is busting your chops, and I know that the first 3 years of marriage are supposed to be the hardest. But I am sure for most, every year can be the hardest.
Life goes on. Take the good with the bad. There are tons of jobs to be had out there anyway. You may even find a better one than this one.
