Married at First Sight Season 8 ~ Predicting the Future
With Season 8 of Married at First Sight coming to an end, it’s time to make predictions on whether the couples choose to stay married or get a divorce. My thoughts have been going in a certain direction in the last few weeks. Last night’s episode solidified things even more for me. Let’s get to it… We’ve all heard the saying “opposites attract”, but to build a foundation of love, common core values have to be shared. Will and Jasmine have some conflicting core values. We saw early on that gender roles were going to be a problem. While Jasmine wants a man to take care of her and pay the bills, Will…

Married at First Sight Season Season 8 Episodes 1 & 2 ~ Initial Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Married At First Sight is back on Lifetime and I can’t think of a better way to start the New Year! Each season, production company Kinetic Content gives us a new little twist. With Season 8 in Philly, that extra something comes with the addition of a couple and an extra 30 minutes of airtime! Here are my initial thoughts on the not three, but four couples this season. Jasmine, 30, is putting it all on the line to find love. She owns her own home, has a successful career and knows what it’s like to be in a long-term relationship. Will, 37, has great role models in both a father…

Married at First Sight ~ Respect is a State of Mind
After watching last night’s episode of Married at First Sight, I feel gut-punched. I want these couples to succeed to the point that I feel a personal investment in their success. The focus on respect this week got me thinking about how we individually interpret respect based on our upbringing, experiences and each situation. We show respect when we honor people of authority…parents, teachers, bosses. Self-respect is when we follow a moral compass or set of values we define for ourselves. There is also mutual respect in relationships. Respect in relationships is built when you consider the thoughts and feelings of your partner over your own. That requires active listening. It also requires eliminating…

Married at First Sight ~ Flying High, Holding on Tight and Hitting Rock Bottom
As season six of Married at First Sight comes to the halfway point, couples take viewers on a trapeze ride that leaves us breathless. Seriously. I can’t breathe. I could hear a collective gasp as Pastor Cal talked about being “submissive” to your spouse. So what does that mean? In essence, it’s putting your partner’s wants and needs above your own. It’s being selfless. When both partners are willing to do this, they develop a strong foundation based on compromise. Okay…exhale. Jephte and Shawniece are flying high right now. When Jephte refused to swap phones and walked out on Shawniece, it could have been the end of their relationship. Instead, he used a…

Married at First Sight ~ Energy in Authentic Relationships
With authentic relationships, positive energy flows continually from one person to the other and back again. It’s rarely ever a perfect balance, rather like the ebb and flow of the tide. You give of yourself to fill the other person’s need for unconditional love, support and acceptance and they give of themselves to fill yours. It’s going through times of trial that you realize who the people are that are there to lift you up and carry you when you are too weak to walk on your own. They fill up your emptiness with words and arms of love so you can survive another day. It is through this lens…
