Why does Kim Wexler love Jimmy so much?
In Better Call Saul season 5 episode 6 ("Wexler vs Goodman"), Jimmy totally surprised Kim in a meeting at which they had verbally agreed on a reasonable settlement of a case. Instead, Jimmy demanded 5 million for the land owner (his client) and threatened to harass the banker (Kim's client) with frivolous lawsuits and reputation-damaging television ads.
Back at their apartment, Kim is furious with Jimmy for making her look like a fool and reaching a deal with the banker--against her advice--to settle and make the TV ads go away. Then, when Jimmy asks how to fix it, instead of breaking up with him, she asks "Maybe we get married?"
Why did she ask to marry someone she was so furious with?
Best Answer
They got married for spousal privilege so Jimmy could commit to a full disclosure policy in the future.
There is a practical element to the proposal. Jimmy’s main defense for what he did was that not knowing it was coming protected Kim legally from the illegality of what Jimmy did. By being married, they would have spousal privilege and Jimmy would not have to keep her in the dark to protect her. Then she could institute her full disclosure policy on Jimmy and such disclosures would be protected.
Jimmy even says to Hewel before the wedding that spousal privilege is the reason they’re doing it.

But that would be too abrupt an exit for the show’s most beloved character, and too simple a transition from Jimmy to Saul, especially with nearly a season-and-a-half of the series to go. Instead, the episode ends with a reminder that Kim is an addict, too; her weakness just happens to be for lovable but damaged people like her boyfriend and occasional partner in crime. So even though she has just spent several minutes clearly articulating why she can’t trust Jimmy and they are better off going their separate ways, she concludes the episode by suggesting, “Or maybe we get married.”
It is a terrible idea. Even Kim seems to know it. This is not a romantic proposal in any way, but the brainstorm of a defeated woman who recognizes that, for once, she’s too weak to pick up her cello and walk away. She’s going to hop in and ride along until they’re run off the road. As someone deeply invested in the life of this fictional character turning out OK, it’s something I don’t want to see. But as a masochist who loves this show and its predecessor most when they’re at their ugliest and most punishing, I can’t wait to see how Seehorn, Odenkirk, and company play out the car wreck that’s clearly coming.
