Gene feels guilty because he has it easier than many of his friends, due to the financial help from Mary Lou’s dad. This is the Better part of the marriage vows for Gene, Money from in-laws.
No one gave Gene and Mary Lou credit for wanting to cook a nice meal for their parents. It’s a special occasion and they wanted it to be nice. Instead they got grief for wasting their money. I’d be very upset with some of their comments. Tomorrow they’re going on an austere budget so they should have had tonight.

More like Mary Lou took him, for better or worse, for all the grandiose ideas.

Is Arlo blaming Mary Lou for their monetary struggles?

Well, in this case, better for one of them at least…
That sounds mean, doesn’t it? But Gene’s a good man. He’ll pull through.

I think Arlo is just reminding him that they are a unit now regardless of whether things a going well or badly.

If this were “FBOFW”, not only would the bistro be successful, there’d be several franchise locations by now. /s

So, when does the “better” begin?
However, Gus did say that the kids have happiness. Maybe the “better” has already begun.

“For better or for worse”, and I think “better” is what they have. There’s more to “better” than money.

Sounds like Gene and Mary Lou are going against type.
