Marriage troubles continue to stick with the newlyweds in the upcoming episode of "Married at First Sight" titled "Intimacy." A teaser for the installment shows Jaclyn and Ryan R's relationship still on the rocks after the latter "pulls back" from being intimate with his wife.
In the clip, Jaclyn admits to Dr. Logan Levkoff that she has become "uncomfortable" and "angry" toward Ryan. Just as the couple learned to consummate their marriage (Jaclyn admitted that they already took it to the next level), Ryan has become "unsure" all of a sudden.
Jaclyn confessed that this allowed her to harbor hate towards her partner, who, in his defense, admitted that he simply did not want to be intimate with someone whom he does not have feelings for. He added that doing so will make him feel like he is leading her on, which is not the case.
This poses a major setback for the couple, who, among the three pairs, is the only one to develop their marriage into something more. Dr. Levkoff said that the relationship won't progress if the two are having trouble with physical intimacy and it remains to be seen if Jaclyn and Ryan R will work it all out.
Meanwhile, Jessica and Ryan D just won't stop arguing. If the past episodes of "Married at First Sight" season 2 are to go by, the couple is on the verge of breaking up. Their squabbles are composed of either incessant shouting or radio silence.
Sociologist Pepper Schwartz's test for them to pinpoint the things the two like about each other did not help and instead, Jessica tells her husband that he does more putting down than showing support. However, the couple is still determined to make the relationship work, never considering divorce as an option.
Lastly, Sean's double life is taking its toll on him and his marriage that he asked for assistance from a professional to help him sort things out. Davina appreciates her husband's efforts to work out their relationship's complications. She also realized, with Dr. Joseph Cilona's help, that her personal issues regarding her tendency to look for "red flags" in her relationship is straining her marriage with Sean as well.
"Married at First Sight" season 2 "Intimacy" will air on May 19.
