'Married at First Sight' Season 3 Finale Spoilers: All Three Couples to Choose to Stay Married?
If their actions in Tuesday's episode of "Married At First Sight" are any indication of how they want their marriages to proceed, it seems that this season's couples are all headed for marital bliss.
After previously vowing never to consummate her marriage with her husband Neil Bowlus, Samantha Role now appears to have had a change of heart. In the previous episode, titled "Last Chance for Romance," Samantha admitted that she missed Neil when he left her to attend a family wedding in Las Vegas.
"I do kind of miss him because I am used to him being around now, and I am starting to have a crush on him," she said.

But the 30-year-old was crushed when, during a video call, she asked Neil if he misses her and he answered with a curt "no."
"I really, wholeheartedly thought that he was going to say yes," Samantha told the cameras. Neil eventually made up for the gaffe, returning home with flowers and an assortment of trinkets for his wife. The gifts had Samantha crying tears of joy.
"I am starting to really see him as my husband," she said. "Immediately when I walked in, the first thing I wanted to do was go and get my marriage certificate and change my last name, and I've never felt that way before."
"I wanted [this marriage] to work so bad and now I feel like it will," she revealed. "We're gonna stay married and figure it out together and I feel like we actually are a unit now."
Although the couple have yet to be physically intimate, Neil noted that their Savannah trip, a surprise from Samantha, could allow them to "finally connect as a husband and wife."
Meanwhile, after Ashley Doherty found out that David Norton had been texting another woman, which led to an epic fight and him retreating to his brother's place in Buffalo, NY, David returned apologetic and wanting to save his marriage with Ashley. The two then bonded over a ziplining adventure, with Ashley giving her husband a peck on the cheek just before he jumped.
"Come Decision Day, we may not think it is the best idea to stay married, but if we stay together we're going to land softly," David said. "Not without your heart dropping out of your chest first — but we're going to be OK."
After fighting over where they would live when the experiment ends, Vanessa Nelson and Tres Russell went on a romantic getaway that was cut short when Tres had an allergic reaction and broke out in hives. But though their trip came to a grinding halt so soon, Vanessa admitted that she appreciated Tres' efforts in planning the surprise.
"I think it is great to see that he is trying to keep the momentum going," Vanessa said. "That's why I feel like I am falling in love with him."
In the next episode of "Married at First Sight" season 3, the six-week experiment officially ends and the three couples will have to make the decision whether to stay married or go their separate ways.
"Married at First Sight" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on FYI.
