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, and in "[[One J at a Time]]" she shows anger over his inability to get over his father. 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. |

Helen has also, in several episodes, become frustrated or sad about the lack of "spice" in the marriage. Several times they ''have'' gotten it back ("[[Road Worrier]]", "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]", "[[Camp Fear]]"), and evidence shows that Jake is the lead in any activity and is good at making his wife... ''happy''. |

Jake has become irritated verging on raging when Helen has had to cancel planned getaways in favour of work ("[[Of Human Bonding]]", "Camp Fear"), in "Bonding" diverging from there into a general rant about being unable to depend on anyone. "Camp Fear" reveals that almost ''all'' planned romantic holidays (and holidays at all) were put on hold because of Helen's job, a source of resentment for Jake. |
