About Married at First Sight

The Critic’s Choice Award-winning hit series marries two strangers at first sight. According to the show, the objective is to film:

“[The] emotional journey as they go from wedding to honeymoon, to early nesting and navigating the daily struggles that come with a new marriage.”

On the show, the newly matched couple also share the good, the bad, and the ugly about their unique unions. After an eight-week experiment, each couple makes the biggest decision of their lives--to stay married or get a divorce. The show is full of love, high stakes, and suspense.

The show also provides guidance to the couple throughout the season. In season 15, DeVon Franklin, a Hollywood producer and relationship advisor, and Dr. Pia Holec, a renowned psychotherapist, are providing additional support and advice to couples.

Pastor Calvin Roberson has helped various couples on the show during the tough phases of their married lives. Reflecting on the key to a successful marriage, the Pastor notes:

“Marriage doesn’t work, people work. If your marriage ain’t working it’s because you ain’t working hard enough. Embrace change. As a couple, you have to come together and find where you both have to change and then find some kind of compromise. Conflict arises when couples are identifying what their differences are and then agreeing on the compromises.”

Season 15 of Married at First Sight is currently airing every Wednesday at 8/7c on Lifetime.
