A month into their marriage, Gil and Myrla seems to have connected despite their rocky start

For the couples of 'Married at First Sight', their marriages so far have not been an easy ride. Nearly all of these couples started their relationship with a bang, seeing that they were all in with passion and more. However, the heat seems to have fizzled out, and now, they have to confront some genuine issues.

Michaela and Zack, who seemed like an initial fan-favorite, still can't seem to get over their initial argument, and the issue keeps spiralling. Ryan is still struggling to process any romantic emotion for Brett, while Johnny isn't as forthcoming with Bao about their relationship. Even Jose and Rachel hit a very rough patch when Jose's controlling ways made it ways to the surface. Among all these issues, the most unlikely couple that has persevered is Myrla and Gil.
