The time has come.
We have to make the decision that you
knew we'd have to make a few months ago,
whether you want to stay married,
or you want to have a divorce and why.
OK?
So, I know the wants and desires of my heart.
And I know what I've prayed for, and I know what I asked for.
We know our ups and our downs.
And I know, like the private conversations we've had
and the things, like that we discussed.
I've learned even more what I want and desire in a marriage.
And I feel like in this marriage,
that's not what we've come to.
So for those reasons, I want to get a divorce.
Yeah, this marriage hasn't, you know, gone how
either one of us have planned.
There has been good.
Like, there's been a lot of good.
But I feel like in a marriage, like, you need more than that.
[soft music]
And you know, for me, it's just kind
of like I didn't envision marriage,
you know, being this way.
I thought like I would be smitten.
I would be like wanting more physical
touch, more like intimacy.
We did have intimacy, just you know, not the kind of intimacy
that I feel like we both
Wanted
--were-- were looking for.
And I'm glad that I've gone through this with you.
But ultimately, you know, I would--
I would like a divorce as well.
[soft music]
Well, thank you so much for your honesty.
And-- and I hope both of you are right.
I hope this has been some growth here.
It certainly looks that way to us.
Are there any deal breakers that you've discovered now
that you didn't have before?
For me, it's just, it's self love.
Like I love when people love themselves.
Like I love Eric.
It's like I hug myself five times a day.
[soft music]
After I brush my teeth, like I smile like so I
can see myself smiling.
The first thing I say when I wake up
is like, show me how good today can be.
I don't even know if you hear me.
I try to whisper it. You might still be asleep.
But I just love talk like, when two
people just love themselves, then
they come together like that.
Love, it creates like more love.
At times, like, the temperature of like what's going on with us
can cause you to kind of shut down
and not be like your true self.
And I've--
But not change my self-love, though.
And we can agree to disagree, that's fine.
I'm trying to get the narrative
of me not having self-love.
I'm not saying like you don't like yourself
or you're like insecure or anything.
I'm just saying I just want you to just--
no matter what I do, I would want
someone who just love the hell out of themselves,
like unconditionally.
[intense music]
The time has come for you to make a decision.
After eight weeks of being married,
do you want to stay married or get a divorce?
[light upbeat music]
Chris, over these past eight weeks,
you have made me happier than I've
ever been in 33 years of life.
You've allowed me to be my true self
and just feel happy all the time.
I've learned that with the right person,
you can say or do anything.
And they might not like it, but they'll
still accept you and love you.
And I don't think I really knew that until being
in a relationship with you.
So I love you.
I feel so confident in our relationship.
And I feel very lucky every single day I'm with you.
So thank you for being the most amazing husband.
And when I think about my future,
whether it's later today, tomorrow, decades from now,
you are standing beside me in every one of those thoughts.
And I just can't imagine life without you.
And I don't want to ever know what life without you
would be like.
So I would love to stay married to you.
[joyful music]
I always thought, there's going
to be lots of ups and downs.
Not to say that we won't have our downs,
but we've had so many ups. And it's just, you make life fun.
You make marriage fun, whether it's your birthday party
for your 80s thing, or even though I didn't like it,
like you still had fun with the dinosaur thing.
I also agree like, life would feel lonely without you.
And I don't want that loneliness.
And I don't want that emptiness in my heart.
I love you fully.
And I would love to stay married to you as well.
[soft music]
Yay.
Wow, it's wonderful.
It's extraordinary hearing all the things
you felt and done with each other and--
and figured out and worked on and enjoyed.
I mean, It's just great that it's
been so enjoyable for you both.
And it's been so rewarding.
And I know your families and your friends
and the people who've gone through this with you,
they will all feel enriched by it as well.
Well, let's have a toast, OK.
I've never felt love like this before.
And I have to thank Chris for that.
He allows me to be who I am.
So there's no reason to not be happy.
[joyful music]
Woo!
This is the happiest I've ever been.
I mean, I've had a lot of downs in relationships.
And with Nicole, she makes it easy.
It's a lot of ups. And I just have someone that I truly feel
that I can build a life with.
I want her to be my wife and--
--I am your wife.
I want to build a life forward.
[joyful music]
You still want me to be your wife?
Yes.
It's an easy decision, slam dunk.
Right, a slam dunk?
Yeah, slam dunk.
So here's to you guys.
For better or for worse, for richer, for poorer til death
do us part.
ALL: Cheers.
Well, the time has come for you to make a decision.
I need you to think about this carefully.
Do you want to stay married or get a divorce?
[suspenseful music]
So Gina, this has been one hell of an experience.
Being here on the last day, I think I am not certifiably.
But I would do this again with you as my wife.
[suspenseful music]
But ultimately, I just don't feel
like I'm the husband that would be deserving of either of us.
So I think it would be best to get a divorce.
[suspenseful music]
I can agree with you.
I can look back on this experience.
And I am truly grateful for the time that we've spent together.
I feel like I've personally seen tremendous growth in you.
I do know there are definite things that I'm
looking for in a marriage.
And I there are for you as well.
So I would agree that I think it's best for us
to get a divorce.
[soft music]
I think if I had to go back, I wish that you would have just
taken the initiative and fought on just the pretense of we're
already committed.
Even if it felt uncomfortable and you didn't feel like you
had some drawing desire, I wish you would have just taken
like the logical step of thinking OK, like,
I know I'm not feeling this, and I'm not an emotional guy.
But logically, we made vows.
We did already commit to getting married.
So what can I do to like fight for this--
- Yeah. - --in the beginning--
Yep.
--just like setting the-- the tone
and setting the foundation.
Duly noted, yep.
How do you feel about that before you respond?
Oh I mean, I completely agree.
I mean, I think it's easy to pick lottery
numbers the next day, right?
So I mean, one of the things was like, I know a lot of times,
you mentioned like, you were uncomfortable
or things felt forced.
And I mean, we were married at first sight, right?
So it's like-- it's like giving things an opportunity
to at least like, get a little bit out of your comfort zone
and to try some of those things But I mean,
that's-- that's just one thing that I would probably say
that could have been different.
