Lifetime ‘Married at First Sight’ Spoilers reveal that Katie Conrad and Derek Sherman are one of the couples that have been sticking it out since day one. These two had a very rocky relationship and some fans don’t think that they have a lot in common, but they are still together and working on their marriage. Katie wanted to explain to fans that marriage isn’t the easiest and they have had a lot of challenges and difficulties.

Katie wanted to share with fans how she was feeling now that the show is over. “Initially, I didn’t feel like Derek’s traits were what I was looking for or wanted in a partner. Derek did fit the mold of what prefer physically. Not only did he have traits I didn’t want or like, I obviously didn’t have the opportunity to grow to like them before committing to marriage.”

She continued, “There were several times during the experiment where I just felt like our personalities and relationship needs were clashing and it wasn’t going to work. In the beginning, I feel like we approached the experiment as a team and both wanted the ideal outcome-to stay married and be in love. But as we started to see that becoming more and more unlikely, we stopped being teammates along the way, which only added friction to the marriage.”
There were many moments on the show where we thought it was the end for these two. One of those moments is when Katie’s ex-boyfriend came onto the show right before she got married to Derek. Derek had a lot of trouble with Katie bringing up her ex too much. “Katie’s feelings for her ex still played a major role in our marriage. It was to the point where I felt like…I was constantly being compared to him.”
These two are working on their marriage and Derek said that they do still have challenges like, “her unwillingness to support him in his dreams, their varying sense of humor, and their inability to not argue every other day.” Katie says, “Patience in all things is key, but especially when it comes to matter of the heart. On paper, or initially, you might think you’re compatible with someone, but it takes more time to really figure that out.”
Tune in tomorrow night for the Married at First Sight reunion episode. The couples will be back to talk about life after the show. It airs at 8 p.m. EST.
