One of the Messiest Seasons of ‘Married at First Sight’ Is Coming to Netflix </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-3_43″>The Seattle couple’s assignment comes after Paul called out Adam during this season’s first group therapy session. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/married-at-first-sight-season-20-experts-paul-c-brunson-dr-lisa-paz.html/”>The <em>MAFS </em>expert </a>accused the 31-year-old data analyst of being a “deflector” who refused to take the experiment – and his marriage to Marissa – seriously. </p>
<p id=”par-4_23″>Now, with just a few weeks left until Decision Day, Adam and Marissa are attempting to have a real conversation about their relationship. </p>
<p id=”par-5_27″>“Are you ready to be serious?” Marissa, a 30-year-old program manager, asks. “It’s 10 questions and I think it will help us with, like, our quality time.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_16″>In a one-on-one interview, Marissa reveals that she took Paul’s words about her husband to heart. </p>
<p id=”par-7_51″>“I think I realized from Paul in the group session that we’re really bad about being serious,” she said. “I do think we need a little reality check that we only have three weeks left and that’s not a lot of time. So we need to focus more on the relationship.” </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-adam-from-mafs-season-20-says-he-s-more-complex-than-people-realize-nbsp”>Adam from ‘MAFS’ Season 20 says he’s more ‘complex’ than people realize </h2>
<p id=”par-8_26″>“OK, let’s go deep,” Marissa says to Adam before asking him the first of Paul’s questions: “What’s an assumption that people make about you that’s wrong?”</p>
<p id=”par-9_52″>“The classic one with me is people initially meeting me think I’m very surface level, that I just like to jet ski or work out and stuff,” he replies. There’s not a lot going on. But I feel like I have a more complex side with some intelligence that might be hidden.” </p>
<p id=”par-10_9″>“You do,” Marissa agrees. “You bury that intelligence deep.” </p>
<p id=”par-11_19″>But after Marissa gets Adam to open up a bit, he quickly steers the conversation away from emotional topics. </p>
<p id=”par-12_13″>“What’s something that you want to try sexually that you haven’t?” he asks. </p>
<p id=”par-13_8″>“Babe,” she says, laughing. “Babe, this is serious.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_16″>New episodes of <em>Married at First Sight </em>Season 20 release Thursdays on Peacock through August 27. </p>
