DENVER, COLORADO: 'Married At First Sight' Season 17 star Chloe Brown and Michael Shiakallis have reached their Decision Day segment after celebrating their first month anniversary. The couple must decide whether they want to continue their marriage or call it quits. Chloe and Michael had been on the same page for multiple matters but the decision day appeared to tear them apart.

In the preview of the upcoming episode, Chloe admitted that she felt 'torn' while making the 'crucial' decision about her marriage with Michael. She met her friend at a restaurant and confessed, "It's hard for me to imagine my life without him, and yet, at the same time I don’t know that we're meant to be." Chloe further claimed, "I've never been so torn in my entire life."

Just before the Decision Day, Chloe admitted, "I'm nervous. Definitely feeling a little scared. I don't know where we'll land. He and I may not have the same goals. But despite Michael and I being different, I can't imagine my life without him." The preview also showed a glimpse of Chloe and Michael's conversation with the expert Pastor Cal.

Chloe shared with the Lifetime show expert, "I'm the all-in or I’m the all-out and I need a partner that's very much the same."
