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.

Myrla and Gil have taken their relationship as slow as it gets, with Myrla even refusing to kiss her husband unless she felt genuinely comfortable. On the other hand, Gil has not held back when it comes to taunting her about her lifestyle and spending habits. However, a month into their marriage, the duo seems to have connected.



 

Gil even planned an anniversary celebration, keeping in mind Myrla's interests. Seeing that she mentioned she wanted to visit a winery and have a picnic, he combined both to create a romantic date. They both admitted that taking their relationship slow had paid off, seeing that they communicate openly and honestly compared to the other contestants. Fans agreed that they both had grown. 

"Gil… you're a good one. I'm actually happy you're trying to push through Myrla bratty ways. #MAFS hopefully it pay off" related articles. "Oh Myrla I hope you've told Gill everything you just said on camera. That man needs to feel appreciated for the patience and effort he's constantly putting in, otherwise he's going to ask for a divorce and break your slow moving heart #mafs" added another. 
"Myrla's skill of not being offended ever is what is keeping this marriage. Gil would have already offended me so many times. You all are not giving this woman her props. #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight" tweeted a user.



 



 



 


Seeing that Myrla and Gil were making an honest effort, they couldn't help but root for a once unpopular couple. Most fans were shocked that they found themselves supporting the couple, but seeing that they've been mature and honest about their relationship, it was hard not to support them.
