As of right now it's working because Saul acknowledges that he is sometimes too risky and needs Kim to help keep him grounded, and Kim acknowledges that sometimes she is too risk averse and needs Saul to push her out of her comfort zone so she still feels like she's alive. The scenes are pointing out that their relationship takes a delicate balance to work and that the characters realize this. I just think that the show is kind of beating us over the head with this point doing scenes like this.
