One doesn't have to be the biggest or the strongest in the relationship to be the emotional pillar and backbone. One just needs to have the inner fortitude and unwavering love for their partner to be the rock they rely on when times are tough. Taylor may be bigger than Jake and way more formidable in battle in both skill, powers and the assistance of her tailmaw, Ahya, but she is emotionally vulnerable. She has gone through many hardships and trials that has left her inner well of strength dry. Although Jake has suffered through many trials himself, he still has not lost his fighting spirit. The moment he saw Taylor again, he knew he had something left to fight for in life and he was going to make sure Taylor saw how valuable she truly is. Because of their shared hardships, Jake is Taylor's rock since he understands her like no one else.
