Line 53:
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]]", "[[Antisocial Climbers]]", "[[Fire!]]", "[[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''. However, "Antisocial Climbers" showed that when they actually ''tried'' to talk about their relationship and feelings after having sex, they were completely unable to do it and ended up in embarrassed silence.
The couple have been involved in many attempts to rekindle their marriage, from taking romantic retreats ("[[Antisocial Climbers]]") to using the [[Xanadu Professional Couples Counseling]] agency ("[[The Daria Database]]") to out-of-town workshops ("[[Speedtrapped]]"). In the first series, they were involved in the "Couples Therapy Night" group and knew the [[The Gupty Family|Gupty family]]" through it. Jake loathed these nights and considered the other couples "wimps", but in one session he broke down and started crying. ("[[Pinch Sitter]]") They were ''still'' involved with the therapy nights three years later, according to Helen's website.
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.
