The planet has rich trades, but also the belief that traders are most stable when they're in strong relationships. So Teyla and Vala agree to pretend to be a married couple.
They go for the odd-couple vibe, where Teyla is the patient one and Vala is the impulsive one, right up until the point where they're making the trades, and then Teyla is the one who's all cutthroat, and Vala is "I'm feeling good, let's just do the deal".
Needless to say, they make like pirates with the trades, and only argue a little about how much Teyla let the traders cheat them in exchange for how much Vala stole from them while they weren't looking.
