PASTOR CAL: Zach, it's been an eventful last month, hasn't it?
Give me your synopsis of how the last month has gone with Mindy.
ZACH: Sure and of course.
You know, there's been some ups and some downs.
We've had some great moments together.
There's a lot of things I've learned about her.
And there's also been a lot of really tough conversations
to kind of, you know, muddle through,
and, you know, the living situation
kind of being one of them.
It was just challenges, more than what I expected
from marrying a stranger.
I have so many mixed emotions today.
We had a very rough anniversary dinner
where he accused me of something that he wouldn't tel me about.
You haven't been honest with me before the marriage,
to the honeymoon.
What are you talking about?
It's not my place anymore to say it?
What the [BLEEP]?
He still won't tell me what that's about.
It's probably worth mentioning, while he was calling me a liar,
he started a friendship behind my back.
She conveniently deleted the conversation,
and he hasn't shared that with me either,
but apparently they talk quite often.
A lot of the details, their stories just aren't the same.
So I have no idea.
And I think that he's needed a reason to not move in
and to not be a good husband, so--
He's needed bricks for the wall.
MINDY: Right.
You still haven't moved in with her.
Right.
PASTOR CAL: Why?
Based on what I've seen, it doesn't
prove to make anything better.
And I know it goes against the norm, but--
PASTOR CAL: Yeah--
Yeah, that's kind of where we've at.
--because married people live together.
ZACH: Sure.
So before we go any further, may I ask you a question?
Have you been faithful to her?
Absolutely
Tell me about her friend that you had phone calls with.
So a week after the honeymoon, her friend reached out,
just kind of asked how things were going.
And I just simply said--
I was like, this has been a humbling experience.
This is really tough.
So did Mindy ever know about the conversation?
She did not.
I guess I just struggled to bring it up.
Why would Mindy's friend talk to you without telling her
that she was talking to you?
I have no idea.
MINDY: Zach has apologized for it.
He said that if the roles were reversed that he really
wouldn't see a problem with it though,
like, if I was talking to one of his friends.
Then you're supposed to feel the exact same way?
Give it to me straight.
Are you committed to Mindy and to this marriage?
If I were to say today this isn't going to work,
I'm going to go tomorrow with a ton of regret.
You can't walk away from still unknown
when you have an opportunity.
So you feel as though you can be committed to her?
Yeah, absolutely.
PASTOR CAL: Zach, help me understand.
This hasn't been a steady upward movement.
No, no, no. I know.
You know, I mean, this has pretty
much been steadily declining.
Up to this point, you know you have sucked as a husband.
She was getting married at first sight
because she really wanted to be married, but from the day
you've been married, there hasn't
been any kind of noticeable effort to be married.
Why the heck now should you even continue?
Why?
I do want to make this a positive experience,
and I only want positive memories.
You're talking about a positive experience.
I'm talking about a successful marriage where you're saying,
I'm going to be yours.
You're going to be mine to have and to hold,
for better or for worse, till death do us part.
That is a marriage.
She doesn't want just a positive experience.
She doesn't want just a friendship.
She wants a freaking marriage.
ZACH: Right.
You know can you give her that?
Yes.
Ugh.
Zach, with all due respect, I don't even believe you.
I'm calling BS, man.
Do you believe in what you're saying?
I do.
Zach, don't screw around with her heart.
Don't, man.
I think I need to speak to her a lot
more often and much more clearly,
and I think the time together is going to be critical
because any ounce of lack of time together has really shown,
and it shows on camera.
Screw the cameras.
I don't want you to do this for the cameras.
Don't act married.
Be married.
