'Married at First Sight' documents marriages of strangers (that have been matched by experts) who willingly walk down the aisle knowing fully well that there could or couldn't be light at the end of the tunnel. Four episodes in and the couples have flown to Panama for their honeymoon. Usually, it's supposed to be the best phase in a newly-wed couple's life, but things don't always turn out to be rosy. 

The two couples, Zach and Mindy as well as Meka and Michael, got off to a rough start.

The previous week, Mindy was left alone to wander the halls of the hotel they were staying at after Zach admitted that he wasn't attracted to her. This statement came right after Mindy shared that she would have felt better if he had asked to carry her luggage and then, ended up comparing them to the rest of the couples who walked in hand-in-hand. 

Meanwhile, Meka and Michael had an argument about how Michael changes his statements when the cameras are rolling. While flying to Panama, he had given her an ultimatum that not getting physically close with each other will have a serious impact on their marriage. Bothered and disturbed by Michael's assertion, Meka questioned his intentions and also agreed to spend the night in different rooms.

In today's episode, we see her dinning with the other couples without the ring. On being asked why she wasn't wearing it, Meka tears up and says it was one of the hardest things she has had to do in her life. Meanwhile, Zach and Mindy are seen doing all the touristy stuff and basically making an effort to know each other better before they can begin the blame game. 

Until now, Derek and Katie have been the perfect ones, with the husband not leaving any opportunity to make the wife feel special. He arranged for champagne and even rose petals to decorate the room with. Katie seems to be in love with Derek, praising him at every chance she gets. Taylor and Brandon try and get some romance into their lives by taking a dip in their hotel bathtub wearing matching bathing suits. But that doesn't last for long as we see them getting into a fight where Taylor clearly states that she doesn't appreciate being disrespected. 

'Married at First Sight' airs on Lifetime every Wednesday, 8/7 c.
