Jake and Helen are and always have been much in love, but there is a strong undercurrent of resentment between the two of them in their relationship. In the episode "[[Psycho Therapy]]," Helen describes Jake's behavior as "lost in a fog when [he's] not flying into a rage" to a counselor. His general meekness often causes Helen to make a majority of the decisions. When Jake goes into a rage, Helen ranges from humoring him to pushing back.

Jake is loving towards his daughters, though he's often vulnerable to being taken advantage of - especially financially. As a result, he will often let Helen take the lead and simply attempt to back her up, though this often goes wrong when he's not been paying attention. He manages to blot out most of Quinn & Daria's conflicts or problems the girls are showing, mainly for his own health. "[[My Night at Daria's]]" showed that he was incapable of handling the very ''concept'' of his daughters having sex, freaking out and running off at the very sight of Daria during that episode.
