LIfetime ‘Married at First Sight’ spoilers has shown us what happens when you match a couple based on likes, dislikes, and compatibility. One of the couples that we have met is Katie Conrad and Derek Sherman. Many viewers didn’t think they would make it through to Decision Day. They did and Katie wanted to speak out about some of the difficulties that they have had so far in their marriage. We have some of the news about how she feels about their marriage and the show.
Lifetime ‘Married at First Sight’ Spoilers: Challenges in Their Marriage
Katie told In Touch, “Initially, I didn’t feel like Derek’s traits were what I was looking for or wanted in a partner. He fit the mold of what I wanted physically. Not only did he have traits I didn’t want or like, I obviously have the opportunity to grow to like them before committing to marriage.” Katie told herself that she would not quit the experiment until she got the full experience. She said the matchmakers would test her at times, “There were several times during the experiment where I just felt like our personalities and relationship needs were clashing and it wasn’t going to work. In the beginning, I feel like we approached the experiment as a team and both wanted the ideal outcome-to stay married and be in love. But as we started to see that becoming more and more unlikely, we stopped being teammates along the way, which only added friction to the marriage.”

Another challenge that the couple had was when Katie’s ex-boyfriend just showed up right before their wedding. Derek said, “I felt like I was in competition with him. Katie’s feelings for her ex still played a major role in our marriage. It was to the point where I felt like… I was constantly being compared to him.” This couple has made it work though. They are still together, as of today, and going strong. Katie said, “Patience in all things is key, but especially when it comes to matters of the heart. On paper, or initially, you might think you’re compatible with someone, but it takes more time to really figure that out.”
We are very happy that these two are holding strong and we wish them the best of luck in their marriage. You can watch them on the Married at First Sight reunion episode. It airs on Lifetime on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. EST.
