Shows like Married at First Sight are really good at letting us take a look at what goes on in people’s minds when they make a rushed decision, like say, getting married to someone they don’t know! That’s the entire premise of this long-running reality dating series that keeps making us go “wow” at how people deal with issues like love, intimacy, and communication skills with their significant others. Moreover, this season gives us several different perspectives of a diverse group of couples as they face their emotional challenges while trying to find a romantic partner to live happily ever after.
The season is almost over, and as the couples are a fortnight away from the suspense-ridden “decision day”, they are in the final stretch to find each other’s hearts or give them the boot on D-Day, as the pressure builds up, so does the drama, and we are seeing some couples with evident issues that they are going to carry on to that day unless they make a breakthrough in their relationships. Additionally, after they had an intense counseling session, this last episode clearly showed us that there’s a lot of work to be done.
Married At First Sight USA Season 16 Episode 16 Recap
In the last episode, the couples had to ask tough questions and face difficult challenges concerning their newly-acquired marriages. Firstly, Nicole and Chris said that they love each other and seem happy. Then, Jasmine and Airris are committing to working on their communication. Further, Gina and Clint seem eye-to-eye in finding what could bring them together. On another note, Shaquille and Kirsten went deep into each other’s needs, but Shaq wants more from her on the emotional side.
Facing two weeks before the dreaded “decision day”, the couples are sent on a getaway to relax and get in touch with one another. We begin with Chris and Nicole, who are having a hard time finding a place to put their three dogs. Meanwhile, Chris planned a cute treasure hunt with love messages for Nicole as she gets her heart warmed up with each note she found for him.
Clint and Gina Share A Room
Gina and Clint had to share a room for the first time since they got married, thus having a chance to be more in touch with one another, after all, they’ve been living in separate bedrooms at their apartment, something that feels awkward for them because they got married and they need some intimacy. The pair wen for a rollercoaster ride and some drinks, Gina acknowledges that their relationship is in better shape after they got some counseling and wants to commit more.
Jasmine & Airris Express Their Feelings
At the retreat, Airris brought his A-game to beat the other husbands in a pageant, something that made Jasmine smile and also made her express her confidence and feelings for Airris, to which he reciprocated albeit shyly. After that romantic exchange of words, the couple went rock-climbing and talked a little more about each other with some progress, still, Airris should lay the phone down for a while as he seems more distracted in his mobile than on Jasmine.

Kirsten And Shaquille Go Tubing
These two had, in my opinion, the most fun: They went tubing and had a good time, but when it was the moment to express what they felt for one another, they hit a rocky spot and started talking to other people to lay off some steam. It seems that Kirsten is having second thoughts, and Shaq told the boys that they’re trying to make it work. For one part, Kirsten must introduce Shaq to her family, and for another, Shaq seems like he’s willing to commit but can it be mutual?
