Domestic Bliss for Jake and Reese?

We’ve been rooting for Reese Witherspoon to find love again with Jake Gyllenhaal ever since these two got together on the set of “Rendition” back in April 2007. Despite his relatively young age and her adorable, mini-me baggage (we’re referring to Ava and Deacon from her marriage with Ryan Phillippe), we could really see this rare pair of smart, grounded actors working out. But the press made the first year of their relationship seem as difficult as spelling Jake’s last name when you’re not of Swedish descent. Fortunately for all of us supporters out there, Reese has healed from her heartbreak with Ryan, and Jake no longer appears to be a rebound.

Things have actually been on the up-and-up for the two of them for a while… Jake’s been spotted playing step-dad, giving Ava and Deacon piggy-back rides, and he and Reese are always doing sporty things together (they unfortunately fell victim to the matching gym wear syndrome a little while ago, and even their dogs wear matching outfits). Now it seems the umpteenth time is the charm with Jake’s proposals because Reese has finally said yes to him (and she’s got a great engagement ring to make it official).  So it’s high time we took a good hard look at their coupledom.

Moonit’s romantic analysis reveals that their relationship is “domestic bliss,” but warns them not to “let it bore you to tears.” They can go days without arguing, but they’re not exactly ripping each other’s clothes off with reckless abandon. No offense, but our female readers out there totally get it: although Jake is definitely cute, it’s tough to get all hot and bothered about him after having a little hard body like Ryan Phillippe to come home to. It seems the same things that make a relationship good can also make it boring. Because Jake and Reese generally see eye-to-eye, it’s easy for them to put their relationship on autopilot; they’re likely to have great careers and financial successes, but it’s only because there isn’t much “action” to distract them.

Moonit’s output goes on to urge Jake and Reese to deep-six any conversation about work, money, family or the early-bird special, and get creative–now’s the time to climb out of their comfort zones and jump into some spontaneity. Specific instructions involve signing up for a salsa night, getting a sitter and then heating up the massage oil. A little adventure will do them both wonders. These two will find that they’re a lot more compatible in the bedroom than they’ve giving themselves credit for.
