Receiving constructive feedback is essential to get back on track when we fail to meet our partner's expectations. However, people's reactions to it vary, with some embracing it, others rejecting it, and some even perceiving it as an attack. Maybe that's why it's known as "tough love".

In this episode of The Official Married At First Sight Podcast, MAFS experts John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla delve into:

• Understanding when feedback is valid and not hyper-critical
• Why it's important for couples to step outside their comfort zone
• Adjusting to the new dynamic of a long-distance relationship

A cheating scandal and confessions of absent chemistry took centre stage at the Married At First Sight Commitment Ceremony.  Are the flames of desire being fanned in all the wrong directions?

In this episode of the Official Married At First Sight Podcast, MAFS relationships experts Alessandra Rampolla and John Aiken weigh in on these hot topics, asking:

• Is cheating always terminal or can a couple bounce back?

• If chemistry doesn’t come naturally, can you create it?

It wouldn't be a Married At First Sight Commitment Ceremony without bombshells and relationship revelations. Still, the drama peaked when the rulebook was cast aside and two participants were allowed to leave despite their partners choosing to stay. 

In the middle of it all were MAFS relationships experts Alessandra Rampolla and John Aiken, and in this episode of the Official Married At First Sight Podcast they break down some of the night's most intriguing issues:

• Why it's damaging to question 'manhood' or 'manliness' on the back of conversations surrounding intimacy 
• Signs it's time to cut and run
• Manipulating and gaslighting: how to recognise it and what to do about it
