I'd love for each couple to introduce
yourselves to the group.
Hi, I'm Chan.
Hi, I'm Dunbar, and we've been dating for about a year.
So me and Dunbar, we met in Dallas at a rooftop.
Dunbar, he actually didn't tell me
that he was a former athlete.
I didn't know he used to play in the NFL.
Right.
I just thought he was a great guy.
I began to really see who this man was,
and I was very impressed.
And we fell in love, and we've been dating ever since.
Oh, wow.
I love it!
Our first date was actually at the hospital.
She wound up getting sick.
I started having really, really bad stomach pain.
Next thing you know, he literally goes
into like Superman mode and carries me
through the emergency room doors.
She had a situation where she had
to get her appendix taken out.
He is literally one of the most compassionate men
that I have ever been with.
Couple of months we were together,
I realized that I finally found the one I wanted to be
with for the rest of my life.
I love you.
I love you too.
But I think she has a lot to learn when it comes to being
a little bit more domestic.
I don't disagree.
It might be overbearing to her,
but I need somebody who does the little things,
like rub my feet, cook my dinner,
make sure that the clothes are washed,
but she's a dominant woman.
You know, am I going to really be ready for this position,
for this role?
So what's your favorite kind of tea?
You like chamomile?
You like peppermint tea?
You like-- what kind of tea you like?
That's good.
My grandma always said you are not the domestic one.
But I'm going to keep pushing her
till she can finally reach her final potential
and that's to be great.
I'm a lion.
My females do the hunting in The Lion King.
I'm a king.
All right, Dunbar.
Are you looking for a submissive woman?
Yes, because I'm missing the little stuff,
the smell of the house, my foot being rubbed, my water being--
I rub your feet.
Yes.
I light candles every time you come home.
But it's her time.
Does that make sense?
So when you say her time, she's
doing that when she wants to?
Right.
Does that mean she's not doing it when you want her to?
Correct.
Y'all want me just to say the truth?
Yes, ma'am.
You got your way, and he got his way.
Y'all got to get this way for anything to work.
- Yes. - OK?
Now Joya and Jasha, let's hear about the two of you.
I'm Joya.
And I'm Jasha.
And we've been together for two years.
And it has been the most fabulous
two years of my entire life.
Jasha is smart, he's funny, he's
charismatic, and so much fun.
He's a blast to hang out with.
Are you going to still do yoga with me when we get old?
I will do my best.
Oh--
Come on now, you can't be falling apart on me already.
We love to travel.
We've been to Dubai.
We've been to Thailand.
Mexico.
Amsterdam.
But I think that we should be married by now.
I'm ready for our relationship to just grow
and have children together.
I'm ready for that.
That's nice.
That's how you got me right here.
I say two and 1/2 to three years will probably
be a good time to have a child.
You're pushing me into 40, bro.
That is way too long.
Well, I love, I love freedom and travel.
Let's live out life and grow, and then whatever
happens, happens, you know?
My desire to have a baby is non-negotiable,
and if you don't desire it in the same way that I do,
it does make me question if you are the right one for me.
Joya, sister to sister, don't even look over there girl,
if you had it your way, when would you want
to get married and have kids?
I would be ready to start the baby process
maybe the end of next year.
So Jasha, what do you feel about that?
There he go looking down again.
You sound like you might need some water.
We're going to let you breathe.
Thank you.
You're welcome We'll put a pin in that.
All right.
And last, but certainly not least,
Catherine and Ricky, what's your love story?
I'm Ricky.
I'm Catherine.
We met at a tailgate party.
- In 2012-- - Yeah.
Oh wow.
We've known each other for a long time.
But later on in that year, my grandmother fell sick.
I had to return back to Dallas to take care of her
because she raised me.
We thought about the long distance,
but it was just not something he wanted to do.
So fast forward through 10 years.
So we started back talking at the end of last year.
And because I care about her, because we have
so much history, I was just like it might be good
for you just come move with me.
I feel like a lot of times you don't
get an opportunity to do what we're doing, to be reunited.
I make this shot, give me a little kissy kiss after this.
You don't make the shot, what do I get?
What you want?
A ring.
Oh, you know I'm balling hard here.
We haven't got married because I've already been married,
and I failed miserably on that one.
To actually leave a marriage that you worked hard on,
and it doesn't work out, it's just,
I don't know how people can jump into another one.
Give me that.
It has been a different process because we
have been friends for 10 years.
For me, we had kind of gotten to that space
where I think we are suffering in the romance department.
Let me see you get mad.
Let me see you play angry.
Yeah, there you go. Yeah.
Yeah.
His past experience is holding us back.
I'm really not saying no to marriage.
I just, I just want to take my time.
She's just got to be patient.
And that's why sometimes I do question our compatibility.
Long story short, I've been through pretty
much anything you could think of, you name it.
So your past marriage, was there any infidelity there?
Yeah, it was that.
It was some of the frustration, financial, just a lot.
Like I tell him all the time, you did
what you were supposed to do.
That's not on you.
I know it may be hard conversation,
but the biggest thing we have to do, you all, is own our stuff.
Right.
We have to own our stuff.
This is where we do the work.
And after listening to you all, one thing is definitely clear.
Each of you have very different expectations
of your relationship.
And, honey, those expectations don't match.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, if something ain't working, then
it's time to make a change.
Yeah.
We're going to try something new,
something different, something drastic.
