I also think, relatedly, that the Jennings' work partnership makes a massive difference. They may have secrets, but they also have shared experience which binds them together - years worth of it - which the Beemans don't.
Yes, this is totally relevant. The Jennings' romantic connection grows out of their work in a way; the work awesomeness came before the relationship awesomeness. Sandra sensed this and commented on it in one episode, too, thinking it was about the travel business. She envies them their work connection because it's Stan's work--everything he's done that he can't or won't tell her--that comes between them.
