Ep 9. Trust

The show Married at First Sight season 5 episode 9 titled "Trust" follows the journey of four couples who meet each other for the first time on their wedding day. The pairs were matched together by a group of experts and agreed to participate in a social experiment in which they agree to wed, honeymoon and live together for a period of time before deciding whether to stay married or get divorced.

In this episode, the couples were midway through their honeymoon phase and were starting to feel the pressures of married life. One couple, Sheila and Nate, struggle with trust issues. Sheila's past relationship failures have made her wary of falling in love again, while Nate's previous girlfriend cheated on him and his trust issues have carried over into this new marriage. Sheila tries to reassure Nate that she is committed to their marriage, but he remains skeptical and confrontational.

Another couple, Danielle and Cody, also face challenges as they try to build a strong foundation for their marriage. Danielle, who is a scientist, tends to over-analyze situations and struggles to let go of control. Meanwhile, Cody's carefree attitude clashes with Danielle's Type A personality, causing tension in their relationship.

The third couple, Ashley and Anthony, continue to connect on a deeper level. They bond over their shared interests and their attraction to each other continues to grow. Despite some minor disagreements, they remain optimistic about the future of their relationship.

Finally, the fourth couple, Sheila and Tom, face their first major issue as a married couple. Tom, who is a firefighter and works long hours, struggles to balance his responsibilities at work with his commitment to his new wife. Sheila feels neglected and unsure of Tom's priorities, leading to tense conversations between the two.

As the couples navigate the challenges of married life, they turn to the experts for guidance. Dr. Pepper Schwartz, pastor Calvin Roberson and relationship expert Rachel DeAlto provide advice and support as the couples work to strengthen their relationships. The experts also encourage the couples to open up to each other and communicate their feelings in order to build trust and intimacy.

Overall, "Trust" is an episode that highlights the ups and downs of being newlyweds. The episode shows that even the most compatible matches require hard work, forgiveness, and communication in order to flourish.
