Applying for food stamps

Brief history of my situation: 
I went to college for 10 years and have several degrees under my belt. I started my own business which isn't doing well (it's my 1st year being open). Bi-weekly I only bring home $400.  I work 45-50hrs at my business each week.  
My husband has a good job but his paycheck is going towards my bills (student loans, business loan, credit cards, etc) which is NOT fair!! After paying bills we are left with $160 to last us two weeks. 
I was thinking about applying for food stamps because we are struggling to pay bills and afford food. We have a weekly budget of $40 to go towards groceries which isn't enough. 
I feel odd debating about applying for it because I always felt that the money would be better put towards a single parent and his/her kids, not a married couple. 
Should I apply? Or just suck it up?
