Both twenty-three, they leap into situations without thinking of the consequences. Mark brought $17,000 worth of consumer debt into their relationship, which Jenna decided to help him pay. However, he seems to be accumulating more debt spending on his outdoor activities. Jenna feels like she is second priority to his ATV. Although she had no consumer debt prior to meeting Mark, Jenna has since accrued her own in emotional spending, a measure of retaliation against Mark for not taking ownership of getting down his own debt. She refuses to work more just to pay off his debt if he isn't willing to do so himself. Their combined consumer debt now sits at $28,000. They leaped into buying a condo together - the actual unit which Mark hates and thus where he does not want to live - and they leaped into buying two dogs that cost them $4,000. Jenna wants more than anything to get married in a lavish fairytale wedding, hopefully to Mark, while Mark does not want to get married with all the bells and whistles like Jenna wants at least until they get their debt down. At the same time they talk about breaking up because of the debt. Beyond saying that they do love each other, they seem to have different visions for their life. Gail has to get them on the same page with their life goals - which includes seeing things from the other's perspective - if there is any hope for a long term future for the two of them as a couple.
