It’s time for a show recap of my favorite
series, “Married at First Sight”. This week, the couples finally get to the
meet the other couples and it seems everyone has their own struggles.
I really think it was a great idea to bring
them together. Sharing their individual stories could somehow help each of them
differently, so let’s recap on what happened.
Danielle and Cody

I’m pretty sure
these two aren’t going to make it. I don’t know what the deal is with Danielle
but she can’t keep friend-zoning Cody. He has tried everything to win this girl
over and she keeps up this song and dance about him not being aggressive
enough. Ok, sweetheart, what does that mean? I honestly don’t think she knows
what she wants and that she isn’t attracted to him. So instead of saying that,
she keeps up this dance. Just end the marriage now and walk away. It doesn’t
help that Cody is basically saying he’s sexually frustrated in their relationship. I don’t believe in rushing into the physical part of a relationship –
especially with a stranger – but they have absolutely not chemistry or “heat”
between them. I think everyone was taken aback when Cody revealed at the couples’
meet-up that they weren’t intimate yet. http://gph.is/2kcFuvP That was also the time
in which the couples decided to separate so the men and women could talk
individually.
Ashley and Anthony

| Anthony and Ashley |
I am feeling Anthony’s pain about Ashley. I
do think they are a great fit but Ashley’s self-confidence is going to continue
to irk Anthony unless she gets over it and herself. Case in point, bean bag
playing. She was totally out of line for being so worried about if she sucked
or not. He’s your husband. You guys are doing something together. Just have fun
and let go. I also realize that this is a trait about her that he is going to
have to work on. I do feel like I sense some frustration in him and based on
previews of next week’s episode, I think it’s all coming a head. I really want
them to work but I really want her to let go. Don’t get me started on the last
name thing. Sigh. I’m all for being progressive, but I also respect his stance
on wanting her to take it. Perhaps the compromise could be to hyphenate, but
then she dropped the bomb that even her kids would have her last name I was
like, whoa. Now for that, I can’t side with you on Ashley. That’s kind of a
slap in the face to your husband (because you know, you married him). And kids.
I think they would both be great parents but I’m with Anthony on waiting. Wait until
you know this person for a while before having kids. She just married him and
wants to be pregnant. How about two years from now? I’m still rooting for them
but I want Ashley to calm down and Anthony to keep stepping up.
Nate and Shelia

| Nate and Shelia |
I love these two but they frustrate me,
particularly Shelia. Now, I feel Shelia on her strength and assertiveness, you
can’t keep shutting down when Nate wants to talk. I commend him on pushing
through and wanting to talk things out. Shelia could at least try to hear him
out. She’s so worried about them filming them that she forgets that she is
married to this man. The whole reason for the cameras is to show everyone that
marriage is WORK, not to just expose you. I really wish she could see beyond
that and stop letting past relationships impact her current one. Nate does not
seem like someone who is all willy nilly about life. He is 1000% committed to
marriage and the idea of marriage and it’s a bit of a slap in the face to
assume that he would ask his wife to live in a garage (shade thrown). Anyway, some days I’m Team Nate and Shelia, other days I’m Team Nate. I just really hope Shelia comes to her own terms about
