Katie hesitantly said she thought it has been good, while looking at Derek for approval. He agreed the marriage has been good so far, but it is “definitely a transition.” They both said reality was now setting in. Katie said they are attracted to each other, which is good, and that they are getting along and enjoying good conversations.

Derek said that, “all things considered” they are doing well, but admitted they are somewhat “stagnant” when it comes to romance. Derek believes there is something missing from their relationship, but says they have made progress.

When Pastor Cal asked Derek if they feel like they are roommates, Derek said, “A little bit,” which seemed to hurt Katie. She immediately jumped in, saying she knows he does, but stressed that she is his wife, not his roommate.

According to Katie, who is a romantic, their connection feels very much on the surface right now. She said Derek’s lack of passion was making her feel concerned. Derek said he realized the main thing missing in their relationship now is time. He said he wants to work it out and he is going to do all he can to make that happen.

Derek then hurt Katie’s feelings by saying he doesn’t believe he could feel love for her for at least six months to one year.

Katie admitted how much Derek had hurt her feelings and made her worry over their future together. She said it scares her that Derek doesn’t know if he is willing to fall in love with her. She said she got “married at first sight to fall in love and be in love.” She said if it gets to the point where their relationship is not progressing, she will not want to move forward.

Derek said while he can’t say he is in love, he does definitely want to develop those feelings for Katie, but only time will tell.

Pastor Cal then told the couple to be patient and rather than focusing on falling in love, they should focus on “growing” in love, which he said would give Katie and Derek more control and build a stronger foundation for their marriage.
