'Married at First Sight' Season 5 Episode 7: Tensions Rise as the Newlyweds Meet the In-Laws
The newlyweds are formally meeting their in-laws on the next episode of Lifetime's reality television series "Married at First Sight." Can their marriages survive the encounter?
It's hard enough meeting the family of a potential life partner. What more can one expect when meeting them after a whirlwind marriage that could more or less end in divorce in about eight weeks?

"I want to give my input, but I also want to remain respectful as well. At the same token, this is my wife, and her well-being means more than anything to me," Nate says.
In his confessional, however, the distraught husband expresses his fear that a disagreement such as this may just be the thing that sends his marriage crumbling apart.
Meanwhile, Cody and Danielle's marriage may have reached a standstill as Cody describes their relationship as "not good," "not great," and "just like okay."
On the other hand, Ashley remains set on her desire to have a baby. In the previous episode, her husband Anthony said that although he'd love to be a father, he preferred to wait a while because he and his wife had just met. Will Ashley be able to change his mind after getting together with each other's family?
"Married at First Sight" season 5 episode 7, simply titled "The In-Laws," airs on Thursday, May 25, at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
