The experts will then pair up three couples who will be getting married upon their first meeting, as the show's title suggests. They will then spend a night in a hotel before leaving for their honeymoon. The real tests to see if the pairing has potential happen when the couples live together as real married couples would for a span of six weeks.
After six weeks, each couple are given the power to decide if they mutually want to continue their marriage or end it through divorce.
Among the four seasons, seven out of 12 couples have decided to continue their marriage after their six weeks of being together. However, to date, out of those seven pairs, only three remain married – two from the first season and the other from season 4.
