This is a...




That's all I kept hearing throughout the matchmaking pre-show and even in the beginning of the first episode of Married at First Sight from all of the specialists. After a while it started to bug me. I mean how can something so important in one's life be called a social experiment? 

 

But the 6 individuals were in no way shape or form bothered by the fact that they were going to be involved in a social experiment. They were all oh so very eager to become a part of this social experiment as if it were to save their lives. Especially... the women. 


Why is that? Why is that we as humans NEED love... NEED marriage?  I mean love and marriage are amazing and I'm glad I have found both. But even if I wasn't in love or even if I wasn't married I do not think I would be jealous of my siblings and parents because they have a significant other, like one of the participants in the show claimed to be. I wouldn't cry for 2 hours after watching The Notebook either. It all seemed a bit, do I dare to say it, desperate of these people.



But they are in this show because in a way they are desperate. They have tried the various ways of dating from meeting people at parties, clubs, and even online dating, and it has all been unsuccessful. One of the participants even was in a long-term relationship, got engaged and then was completely betrayed by her cheating fiance.



So Married at First Sight is ultimately their last chance.... their last chance at having true love and getting their moment of having their one and only... that is if at the end of the 6 weeks they don't opt for...

Where will we live?

Finding a home has it's up and downs and dodging of bullets (if you don't research the neighborhood well enough) and a case of headaches all on its own, but throw in a marriage into the mix and it adds just that much more. The one question that make take more than a few minutes to ponder over is... Where will we live? What if your spouse is originally from the other side of town or another state? What if your job has caused you to move away from your parents, but now you feel like it's the perfect time to move closer to them? In the second episode of Married At First Sight (the 2nd season) , Jaclyn and Ryan R. already had a bumpy start with Jaclyn not being attracted to Ryan R. at all and she sure did not have an ounce of fear to share that with the cameras. But on top of all that she's in love with her job as a sales representative for a popular vodka brand in  New Jersey. Her now husband is from L...
