Their relationship is at a stage of falling apart over their money issues and not being willing to communicate with each other effectively. They bought a fixer-upper two years ago, the house which has turned into a money pit with major cracks still showing figuratively and literally within the house. Jurgen, a carpenter, is supposed to do much of the work, and about which Leslie is always getting on him. Leslie is a shopaholic, spending both on herself and on Ethan, who she uses as an excuse to shop. Jurgen is also a spender on his two indulgences: cigarettes and beer. Jurgen also uses the excuse of being computer illiterate to leave all the household finances on Leslie's shoulders, which she resents since she sees all the problems, while he sleeps the day away. Gail has to get them to use Ethan as a focus to turn their lives around, including getting rid of their bad habits for new healthier ones. The lines of communication between the two have to be more open - for them to be able to express what is truly in their heads and hearts - for Gail's financial plan for them to work and their relationship to survive.
