'Married at First Sight' Season 1 Spoilers: Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis Stay Married
"Married at First Sight" is one of the new reality shows around that has one of the most intriguing and controversial premise—three single men and three single women are paired off by experts, and all of them agree to marry their match upon meeting them for the very first time at the altar.
For six weeks, each pair will live their lives as a married couple, and after that, they have the option to stay married or get a divorce. The social experiment is fraught with so many reasons to fail. And yet, two of the couples chose to stay married.
It has been confirmed that Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis chose to stay together. Despite a rocky start, which involved Otis not being attracted to him, her trust issues, and Hehner lying about smoking, the two have overcome these hurdles and are now very happy to be married to each other.

Otis took to Twitter the day after the season finale.
"Gooood morning! 1st day not hiding that I'm married to the most caring and kind man!" she tweeted.
"We got a chance to really figure each other out mentally and emotionally, and the physical part, it obviously comes around," Hehner told The New York Post.
Jason Carrion and Cortney Hendrix also chose to stay married.
Among the three couples, only Monet Bell and Vaughn Copeland opted for divorce. Despite their physical attraction to each other, the two did not have enough chemistry and couldn't agree on many things enough to stay together.
"It was just a bad match," said Bell in an interview with ABC News. "I learned that you need love."
"I think if Vaughn and I had been dating and loved each other and had emotional attachments to each other, a lot of the things that bothered us about each other wouldn't have been as big as they turned out to be," she added.
All the couples will be appearing in the reunion show, "Married at First Sight: Six Months Later" which will air on Sept. 16 at 9 p.m. on FYI.
