This programme contains strong language from the start

- That's double standards. - Previously -

as Leigh's actions rocked the final dinner party...

Why would you kiss her back? That's what I'm not getting.

If this were to happen with you, it would be very different.

- With you, it's not. - ..it sent her marriage into meltdown.

- Typical Leigh, arguing at me like a - BLEEP - lawyer.

Attention-seeking bitch.

And, with the experiment's ending in sight...

I'm worried that I'm not going to be enough for you.

..shocking confessions threaten to tear it all apart.

Do you think your feelings

will change when we leave the experiment?

Um...

..I'm worried we might lose

that passion and everything that we do have.

No reassurance whatsoever. Devastating answer.

But it was hard truths...

Do you think I've been respectful in this marriage?

- No. - ..that threw Leah's behaviour into the spotlight.

Leah, in Leigh's defence, you're a flirty person.

Come on, Bailey.

She goes, "Oh, I'd sleep with her, I'd shag her," or, "I'll turn her."

If I said I would shag Leigh, you wouldn't be happy.

Do I feel disrespected in those moments? Yes, I do.

- BLEEP - me. I'm done arguing, I'm done trying to defend myself.

It's ridiculous.

- Tonight... - In her head, I fancy these people.

That is unfair on you.

..the experiment reaches its gripping climax.

I'm scared, because it's something I want so badly.

I don't ever want to see your heart broken.

Do you think you're on the same page?

Um, I don't think so.

..as the first three couples face the life-changing decision.

There is feeling there,

but I actually don't know if Leigh will ever trust me.

If Reiss doesn't want to renew the vows,

my heart will be broken.

- Whether to stay together... - Is love enough to make this work?

We've got a really deep connection,

but the good doesn't come without the bad.

..or end their marriages forever.

I never want to hurt Leisha, but I just need to be honest.

Leigh,

I always try to see the best in you...

..but if I'm truly thinking about my future,

I need someone who trusts me without question.

You put pressure on me to move at a faster pace than I was ready for,

and I have questioned it all.

So,

Leisha...

I'm just going to miss not waking up to you.

- Yeah. - Not having your scrambled eggs in the morning.

Having reached the end of the experiment,

the remaining couples are about to head home...

- Got a little present for you. - Oh, what we got?

- Go on, then. - Yeah? - Pop it in.

..to contemplate the future of their marriages.

I think this is going to be the last time

- that we're going to be sitting on this couch. - Yeah.

- This feels like our first home, doesn't it? - Mm.

Like, we've had such an amazing time.

I refuse to pack until last minute,

because I don't want to leave.

As rubbish as this is right now, everything else is so exciting.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this week going by very quickly,

so we can get to Vow Renewals

and just see each other again,

- and then start our lives together. - Mm-hm.

The last time I went home to my apartment was Homestays,

and I was bringing John home and I was excited

for him to meet my family and friends, so...

Yeah, I think it's hard, today, going back just by myself.

Have a little last look around of the apartment.

- Oh, there's so many good memories. - I know. - Yeah.

- I know. - But we're gonna make

more amazing memories together in our own apartments.

- This is just the start. - OK?

Having a week away from John, I'm not used to that.

We've not had the outside world influencing our relationship..

..and it's scary.

Bye, babe.

Giving someone your heart is terrifying,

especially when I have been so hurt in the past.

If this marriage wasn't to work out, I'd feel absolutely heartbroken.

I would be devastated.

To see her leave...

..oh, it was heartbreaking.

I can't imagine my life without Abi now,

I really can't.

I've spent a long time single,

a long time wondering whether love will ever come...

..and now that it's here...

..I don't want that to change.

I'm gonna really struggle, not waking up next to you every day.

Yeah, I'm the same.

- But you get to see your family... - Yeah.

..I get to see my family.

- Yeah. - I am buzzing to see them all.

Can't wait to just have a catch-up, give them a good old hug.

I'm feeling very sad this morning.

I'm not ready to leave Reiss.

He's my person,

but Reiss does struggle to reassure me on the day-to-day.

I think my hope is that you come back and you missed me,

and that you know exactly

where your emotions are, and where your feelings are,

and just a bit more of, like, a clearer mindset.

Yeah.

You know I've always struggled with your closed-ness,

and I've always wanted to try and open you up.

Because I'm not like that.

- Yeah. - I find it very, like, unnatural.

Obviously, I know where my heart's at.

When I say I love someone, I'm not going to,

- like, change my mind all of a sudden. - Yeah, yeah.

I have put my heart and soul into this experiment,

and I have told Reiss that I love him,

but Reiss will not say it back to me...

..so I am scared.

I don't want to get blindsided.

I'm just really nervous that he's going to break my heart.

Come on.

- Let's get our bags out. - Yeah.

Five days, you're gonna have a lovely time with your family.

I've got strong feelings for Leisha,

but we are at different levels, emotionally.

Leisha does need quite a bit of reassurance,

and I know she wants me to open up a lot more,

and I've been giving more than what I'd normally give anyway.

But, if she's not satisfied with it, it does concern me.

This decision coming up,

on Vow Renewals, is gonna be a tricky one.

I've got a lot to think about to make sure I make the right decision.

I have 110% fallen deeply in love with Reiss.

He's my best friend, so it's sad.

If Reiss doesn't want to renew the vows...

..my heart will be broken.

There's an atmosphere between me and Leah today, to be honest.

We ended the dinner party last night on a bad note,

and we're not really in a great place.

My head's all over the place about Vow Renewals at the moment.

I've got a lot of thinking to do.

So, how are you feeling after the dinner party last night?

I'm just, like, deflated about it all.

I do think there's been one rule for one, on occasions.

Say if I kissed Leisha on the lips, like you did...

..you would have gone mad.

If you think there's a double standard there,

you know the type of person that I am.

Have you ever had any speculation

or worry that me or Leisha have acted funny

with each other in the past?

- Just answer that, yes or no? - No, but have you... - Exactly.

..thought I've ever acted a certain way towards her?

- Answer the question, yes or no? - But you've done...

- Answer the question, yes or no? - Yes,

the things that you said in the beginning made me uncomfortable.

There has been situations where you've made comments

that have made me feel uncomfortable,

especially, again, after Partner Swap.

- What did I say? - You told me that

- Leisha was flirting with you. - Not on that weekend. - Yes, you did.

- No, I didn't. - Yes, you came back and fucking told me that.

And you said she's done that before,

so don't try and act like I'm fucking going nuts.

You've categorically come back

and told me that she's acted

a certain way with you,

don't fucking do that.

You're making me look like

- I'm fucking nuts and you know that I'm not... - No, I'm not.

- ..because you've told me things... - No, I'm not.

This is what I'm saying, every time with you.

Do you know what? I've overreacted the whole fucking thing,

- I've made it up in my head, there's not been... - I don't think you've

- overreacted the whole thing. - ..there's not been a single

situation that you've ever stepped out of line,

or nobody else has ever stepped out of line,

and I've had no right this, whole fucking time...

But that's how you're making it sound, Leah.

There's been an uncomfortable situation between you and her, no?

You've behaved a certain way towards her,

- knowing that she's flirted with you. - Oh, my God, no I haven't.

Do you not think that that's disrespectful?

- No I haven't. - If there was someone

- in this experiment that had been flirty with me... - Oh, my God...

- ..and I'd come back... - ..I can't be bothered with this conversation.

- Neither can I, I'm not... - Go, then. - ..doing this

on the fucking last day, there's no point.

See you later.

What is she doing?

Leigh's behaviour has made me question

what I really want in my future.

Can I be with someone like that on the outside?

I've got so much to think about before Vow Renewals...

..if I fucking turn up.

- Hi! - Hi. - How are you?

Across the country...

- How are you? - I'm good, how are you?

..our separated couples are returning to their hometowns

to speak with friends and family ahead of Vow Renewals.

- Hello. - Hey, cousin! - Nice to have you home.

In Formby, Leah is seeking words of wisdom from cousin Taylor.

- A lot's happened. - Oh, God, tell me about it.

- Hey, honey. - Whilst, over 200 miles away in Essex,

Leigh is meeting up with best friend Nicole.

- How've you been? - A bit all over the place, to be fair.

- Yeah, it was, kind of, just not good vibes... - Really?

- ..when I left, yeah. - Why? - Was about to leave the apartment,

"Let's just have one more chat." That blew up.

I ended up walking out and leaving, because we was just going round

in circles, and it was not needed,

we didn't need to do that on the last day.

We didn't leave it on a good note at all.

She stormed out, didn't say bye to me.

- Oh, God, why? - The dinner party, the honesty box.

- Yeah. - My question was,

- "Have I ever disrespected you in this experiment?" - Mm-hm.

And she was like, "Well, yeah, I think you have."

"You were too familiar with Bec from day one,

"you said she was your type," and then there was the Leisha thing,

because I said that she was, like, a good-looking girl.

But I've not once said I fancy anyone.

- OK. - When she asks me a straight question,

I'm giving her a straight answer, because I'm an honest person.

She then gets her back up, and then in her head,

I then fancy these people.

- It's like an insecurity, obviously, isn't it? - Yeah.

- And that is unfair on you. - Mm.

- And then she went on girls' day and kissed Leisha on the lips. - What?

No, sorry, but if I did that with Leisha, she would lose her rag.

- That's double standards. - Yeah.

It's got to be the same rules for everyone.

Exactly.

- I've been here before with Leah... - Yeah. - ..in this headspace,

and then we've come back ten times better.

I don't want to behave as if she's not someone

that's really important to me, because she is.

We've been through a lot

in this experiment, and there are feelings there.

Since I've come home,

I've been racking my brain just trying to realise,

is it me? Is it Leah?

Because there's times throughout the experiment

where I feel like Leah's made it sound as though I'm only reacting

that way because of things I've been through in the past.

Naturally, my guard is up, but I'm willing to go in both feet.

I'm serious about wanting it to work.

Leigh entered the experiment hoping to let go of past insecurities.

I saw my life with this person.

That then got taken away.

But as the experiment went on...

I started to feel like you were being overly familiar with Rebecca.

..Leigh's deep-rooted trust issues...

- They're hot. - Oh, of course you fucking noticed.

I've been humiliated in the past. I find it disrespectful.

She's been triggered, based on her past relationships.

..became a barrier in their marriage.

So, the reason that you flirt with other girls

is because you're from Liverpool.

Who do I flirt with? I don't flirt with Rebecca,

and I certainly haven't flirted with her.

The marriage definitely can't work without trust.

A relationship can't work without trust.

It's pathetic.

I've been through...

..a lot of situations...

..has just led to me getting really hurt.

I generally have been in a place, throughout the experiment,

like kind of half-blaming myself a little bit.

- It's a hard situation. - Yeah.

So what's kept you in this experiment for so long?

There's loads of reasons why we are a match,

and I do see that.

Our morals aligned well.

- Yeah. - Also, not a surface-level relationship.

- Yeah. - There's definitely feelings there, from my side.

There's a lot more in my heart towards her.

- Yeah. She's a lovely person as well. - Yeah, she's a nice girl.

And yeah, it's not been nice, how it's been left,

but I'm not one to hold a grudge.

I can't sit and forget about all the good things, about

what our relationship's been, and all the good things about her.

- Yeah. - It's been a roller-coaster,

- I've learnt a lot about myself... - Yeah. - ..but I think, right now,

I've just got to sit and think about the whole process.

It's a lot to think about.

My head is scrambled.

Something keeps me wanting to try.

- Yeah. - We had a really good Homestay.

I saw her in a different light, she saw me in a different light.

We're very similar in that we're family-orientated and...

- Yeah. - ..we have a really strong bond.

So, going into Vow Renewals, I don't want to regret anything,

so I'm trying to make sure

- that I'm making the right decision for me. - Yeah.

Yeah, it's massive.

- There's a lot of pressure on you. - Yeah.

And this will determine, like, the rest of your lives.

Yeah, I know.

I'm really sad that me and Leah left on bad terms.

I didn't want our last day in the apartments to be like that.

But you can see, from the way I'm reacting in these situations,

there are feelings there, there is a connection there.

Otherwise, I wouldn't feel this way.

I'm really torn, because I don't want to miss out on something

that could potentially be really special.

This is one of the hardest decisions

that I'm ever really gonna have to make.

There's so many good things about Leigh

that I genuinely do love.

There is a lot of feeling there. I care for her, I respect her,

but I can't ignore the fact that I trust her,

but she doesn't trust me.

Is it going to be something that can work on the outside?

I'm going into this Vow Renewal in totally two minds, at the moment.

Whatever decision I make is going to be a hard one.

I've invested so much time into this person, so much effort.

If I decided to walk away, it'd be hard to leave her behind.

You spoil me. Oh, thank you, this is lovely.

In Bournemouth,

Abi is reuniting with her mum, Pamela...

Thanks for coming.

It's lovely to see you, John.

Lovely to see how happy you are.

..whilst, in North Wales, John is with his mum and sisters.

It was very sad to leave Abi.

- Yeah. - But that's a yes. - Yeah, yeah. - From both of you?

- From both of us, yeah. - OK.

We've had an amazing time in the apartments, and I do love her.

- I am thinking really hard about the vows. - Yeah.

You also need to think about things that might be an obstacle as well.

- Yeah. - Yeah,

you've been in this fairytale, and it has been absolutely amazing,

- but there will be something. - Yeah, yeah.

We've not had conflict yet,

so, you know, that's going to come.

We'll have to navigate our first conflict

without the help of the experts.

- That'll be the big test. - Yeah, it will.

- We know it's going to come. - Yeah.

We've just had a great time so far,

- we hope that great time continues. - Yeah.

Obviously, when we've seen you together on the Homestays,

I could just see that you belong together,

definitely belong together. That's all I've always ever wanted -

somebody that will care for you,

love you, make you happy,

and I think you've definitely found that person.

- Yeah, she definitely does that. - Definitely, definitely.

She does, yeah.

- I love John. I've never had these feelings... - No.

..for anybody in my entire life.

And also, someone loving me,

- I didn't think... - I know. - ..I would ever be lovable.

The times you used to say to me, "All I want is someone to love me."

Used to break my heart.

When you said, "Our family is now complete..."

- I feel that. - ..it made me so happy, because I've waited

to hear those words from you my entire life.

I know, I know, and what I really am so happy about,

- is that you've found someone that put the confidence in you. - Mm.

I can see that he's got the traits

that I'd want you to have in a husband.

I'm so, just like, happy.

But I'm scared as well,

because I've never been this open and vulnerable with someone before,

I've never given someone my heart.

I am worried.

- John's helped me develop this confidence and security... - Mm.

..but I don't want my insecurities to creep back...

- Yeah. - ..because I'm away from him

- and I don't have that constant reassurance. - No.

I see my future with him.

I know he's my person that I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I guess I'm scared of losing that,

- because it's something... - Mm. - ..I want so badly.

- Aww. - So, it's just...

- ..so... - Darling.

Your heart is in this...

- ..fully committed... - Mm.

..and I don't ever want to see your heart broken.

But I have the greatest feeling, that this is, this is it.

Mm.

- When you met him, you felt like that security straight away. - Mm.

Well, I did with your dad, too.

When you meet someone

and you know they're your life partner,

then nothing is going to change that.

- Yeah. - I am just so happy, it's all a mum could want.

Yeah, thank you.

It has been like a fairytale. Everything's happened so quickly.

I've wondered whether it's too good to be true.

Me and John have been in some sort of bubble.

I genuinely love that man so much.

It's something that I've wanted so badly.

I'm so nervous.

I have given my heart to John.

What he decides to do with it is down to him.

I can see Leigh fitting into my life,

but the sticking point in our marriage is trust.

I actually don't know if Leigh will ever trust me.

In the experiment, she doesn't trust me.

Will she trust me on the outside? I just don't know.

Today's decision is gonna affect the rest of my life.

There's so much about Leah and our relationship that I do love...

..but, of course,

the good doesn't come without the bad.

There's so many different questions going on in my head.

Is she gonna keep thinking I'm doing something bad?

Do I have to dim my light a little bit

to be more the perfect person for her?

I've really picked apart every single aspect of our journey,

and it's not a decision I've taken lightly.

I've put so much work into this marriage.

We've got a really deep connection,

but should love be this hard?

Oh, fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

If I think about what we do align on,

there's so many positives for me.

We do have a lot in common, in the sense of

that deeper connection.

There is feeling there,

but is it enough?

I don't know.

- How are you? - Good.

You OK?

Leah, can you believe that we made it here?

It was clear from our wedding day that building

a strong relationship would take a lot of work.

But we got to know each other on a deeper level so quickly,

and that instantly made me feel like it was something worth trying for.

There were many parts to you that I valued.

How caring and attentive you are...

..how you make me laugh, and your positive mindset

which always kept me level-headed on my hardest days.

I care for you and love you in many ways.

There are so many reasons this could work.

However...

..we've struggled with communication, trust,

misunderstood feelings and unwanted behaviours.

Your behaviour, jokes and remarks towards other women

only ever caused me to be more closed off.

If this hadn't have happened, I feel I may have felt

more comfortable to let my guard down.

Disagree.

The fundamental reasons why our relationship has struggled,

intimacy not being as it should, and issues around trust...

..it's enabled me to come to

a conclusion on how I want a marriage to feel.

And I would be lying if I said to you that this was it.

A true loving relationship

should not take this much effort and force.

Because of these reasons, I've decided that I no longer wish

to continue the marriage.

Leigh...

..you've got qualities I truly admire.

You're an incredible communicator...

..you're caring, you share my values,

and in moments, you've made me feel safe.

We've had moments of connection...

..moments of joy...

..but we've also had friction...

..tension and doubt.

Throughout this marriage, it's become clear that the lack of trust

around my female friendships has created real challenges between us.

Your past hurt was often projected onto me...

..creating a narrative that didn't reflect who I am.

And that's something I can't ignore.

I often felt like I was being managed, not met.

You're quick to critique...

..and I often felt like I was under scrutiny.

I tried to figure you out.

One day distant and guarded,

the next day you were more open and tactile.

You told me I made you feel safe, then told me you didn't trust me.

You said I disrespected you.

I honestly felt like I protected you.

Gave you the benefit of the doubt, always tried to see the best in you.

Meanwhile, I felt blamed, judged and misunderstood.

Leigh...

..if I'm truly thinking about my future,

I need someone who trusts me without question.

I don't want to be led on, kept around just in case...

..unsure if I'm liked, loved or fancied.

Nor do I want to be made to feel like I'm constantly on trial.

I am leaving this marriage here.

You said you didn't want to lead me on...

..so it's time I stopped following.

For you to say that you've felt managed...

- ..throughout the whole... - I didn't say throughout the whole. - OK.

You add things in all the time. Managed not met.

Sometimes, I want to chat to you about certain things, and it's like,

du, du, du, du, du.

It just felt like you weren't meeting my energy.

Do you not think it's a little bit insensitive

if I just want to know the ins and outs of what happened,

- like... - But, the first thing... - ..that's an insecurity in me, right?

- So, as a support... - But own that, then. - ..and I have.

You didn't at the time.

You were being on at me like that, when I didn't think you needed to...

- Because I wanted to find out what had happened. - No, but...

In a relationship, what I need, is someone

who is also excited to see me and then ask the questions.

And I need to feel more supported by my partner

and not act as if me asking questions

is doing something wrong.

And if you weren't a closed book,

maybe you would have got that from the beginning.

I tried.

Did you?

I have tried, and then you're throwing it in my face.

You're acting as if I haven't fucking tried,

- I have tried. - I'm just saying

- I don't feel my energy was met. - Neither do I.

- Have you got anything else to say? - Not really.

I'm shocked by some of the things that Leah's just said.

Leah's mentioned a load of things today

that she's never said to me before.

I've really tried to let my guard down

and be as vulnerable as I could,

as much as she doesn't seem to see it.

I came into this today knowing my decision.

I wasn't going to be happy

if I were to continue in this marriage,

and I know what I want from my partner,

and it wasn't what Leah could give me.

I chose to walk away today because the marriage was too much of

a rollercoaster for me to sit on any longer.

I really wanted to come in here and find love.

I deserve someone who's going

to trust me fully, and have an open heart to me.

I am walking away with my head held high,

and I've definitely made the right decision.

I'm absolutely terrified.

For the first time, I adore and love someone.

I have given my heart to John...

..and I'm hoping he will protect it.

I'm scared, because I have been hurt in the past,

so there is so much riding on this decision.

It's my life...

..my future...

..and, ultimately, my heart.

I've waited so long to experience true love.

I've never felt like this before.

We need to adjust to life outside of the experiment...

..and that's unknown.

I am worried.

We both are great inside the experiment.

Is love enough to make this work?

I want John to commit to me for our entire lifetime.

That's what I came into this experiment for...

..to find my forever person.

And, for me, that is John.

- Hi. - Hi.

So I'm just hoping that he commits to me in the same way today.

- You look amazing, I love this dress. - Thank you,

- so do you. - Wow.

You look so good.

- I missed you. - I've missed you, too.

- I felt really nervous. - Why were you nervous?

Like nervous excitement.

My dear husband, John...

..as I stand before you today, we are no longer strangers.

We stand connected through a journey of a lifetime,

with the ultimate end reward love.

Throughout our journey,

we supported each other every step of the way.

Living with you, we made a home for ourselves,

but very soon, you became my home...

..as my feelings for you got stronger and stronger

each single day.

You acknowledged my lack of confidence,

which I always thought I hid well.

But you set out to change that.

The most beautiful thing is

that you have helped me find that confidence again.

After Partner Swap Week, I knew you were the one.

I have never been in love,

which is how I know this time was different.

Hearing you say those three words,

"I love you..."

..was the moment you changed my life forever.

The I became we, the future became us...

..and my heart became yours.

Love only comes once in a lifetime,

and for my entire life, I have been waiting for it,

and, little did I know, for you.

You are my present, my future,

but, most importantly...

..you are the love of my life.

Aww.

Those were so good.

- I wrote it from the heart. - I felt it.

Aww.

To my wife.

Standing here at our Vow Renewals,

my mind casts back to the time before I met you,

wondering if love had passed me by.

For years and years, I thought I wasn't good enough to be loved.

But since the moment we stood together on

our wedding day, I knew.

I knew that every failure, every doubt,

every unanswered question suddenly made sense...

..because the answer was you.

One of the most defining moments

of this experiment was Partner Swap Week.

That space made it so clear...

..I didn't just like you, I loved you.

I'd already fallen.

In such a short time,

we've created something I'm so proud of.

This is only the beginning.

You've changed everything for me.

You've made the idea of a family, a home and a future feel real.

I've waited my whole life to feel like this,

and I'd walk through every one of those awful,

lonely single years again if they led me back to you.

You've taken a heart that once wondered

if it would ever be truly seen,

and you've given it a place to rest, grow and belong.

I vow to protect what we've built,

and never take a single moment for granted.

To be the man who lifts you, loves you,

and chooses you, every single day for the rest of our lives.

This isn't just a new chapter, this is a story I always hoped for.

And the greatest gift...

..is knowing I get to write it with you.

Aww, that's beautiful.

- I missed you. - I missed you, too.

- Let's just do life! - I'm ready.

Let's go.

The start of our story.

I feel amazing.

This is the perfect way to end the first chapter of our journey.

I came into this experiment wanting to find love

I found John, found a husband...

..and I found our happily ever after.

And I know you're going to be the most amazing father.

- I love you. - I love you.

- Let's go and spend the rest of our lives together! - Yes! - Yes!

Oh, thank God you're here.

In Edinburgh, Leisha is catching up with best friend Mel...

There we go. What a lovely day.

..whilst in Essex, Reiss is seeking guidance from his mum and sister.

How's it all going?

Bit emotional, leaving the apartments the other day.

- Leisha's gone back to Scotland? - Leisha's gone back to Scotland.

- Yeah. - The Vow Renewals are coming up.

There's a lot of positives between us,

but also, there's, like, negatives, so I'm just trying

- to weigh out... - Let's talk about the positives first.

Positives. She's an attractive girl,

she's good fun, we got loads in common,

she's kind, thoughtful. I can tell she'd be a great mum,

- like, she'll take care of me... - Definitely.

..and our future children.

- So there's plenty of positives. - Yeah.

He's just perfect. I want to lie next to him every single day.

I want to eat dinner with him every single day.

- Not... - I like to smell him and, like,

- when he touches me... - Yeah. - ..and cuddles me, like,

I just feel so good, and we just have such a laugh.

I've never met anyone that I've been so compatible with.

- Yeah. - And now he's not here, I feel really sad.

- I just miss him. - Mm-hm.

But I don't know if he misses me.

So, do you think you're on the same page with your emotions?

Mm, I don't think so.

- No? - No. From early on, like, I worked that one out.

Leisha moves a lot quicker than me.

The other day, she said to me she does love me.

How close are you to feeling the same way?

I'm definitely getting there. Each week we are making progress,

and I'm getting stronger emotions and feelings towards her.

And I do honestly think that I would've been there by now

- if it wasn't for all these arguments... - Yeah. - Mm.

..because there has been days where I was thinking,

"Do I? Don't I? Let me just take my time actually, and just don't..."

- And then she does something... - ..and then she'll do something,

and I'm like, ooh, and I'll retract that bit more.

I can see that you do have strong feelings for him.

- I do, of course I do. - Yeah. - I've told him I loved him.

- Oh, my God. - I felt it and I said it.

- And has he said it back, or is he not there yet? - No,

he's not there yet.

- Yeah, that's scary. - Isn't it? - Mm-hm.

He's everything I've asked for,

he really is, it's just, he is just not there yet.

I feel like by now, you would

probably be on the same page, though.

Does he make you, like, feel secure in your relationship?

Most of the time.

That was very hesitant, that answer.

You need that reassurance that you're the one that he wants.

It's not a lot to ask, I don't think.

I've gave Reiss my heart,

and I'm now just waiting for him to catch up to me.

I don't know how long it's going to take,

but I do worry that this time apart may make Reiss think,

is this really all worth it for him?

I just feel very, very vulnerable.

In reality, I have completely and utterly fallen for Reiss,

and I do fear that I might get hurt.

She's admitted to me that she does have insecurities.

So is she quite needy?

- Yeah, you could say that. - You're not there to be a fixer.

- Hm. - If they're her insecurities, that's for her to deal with. - Mm.

I will give Leisha a couple of compliments when she's, like,

- dolled up, we'll go out like, "Oh, you look gorgeous," and... - Course.

But then she's saying to people

that I don't pay her enough compliments. But that's just not me.

You don't want to keep thinking,

- "Oh, I better say this..." - Yeah. - ..because then you're gonna be...

- Cos then I'm getting stuck in my head. - ..compromising how you are,

- and walking on eggshells. - Mm.

So, you keep being you, you keep being natural.

Actions speak louder than words. I mean, I know how you are,

- I know how loving and nice you are. - Yeah. - Tentative.

Even just, like, the little holding the hand shows that

- it doesn't have to be words, does it? - And sometimes,

I feel like I'm holding Leisha's hand quite a lot,

but then, like, she's saying, like, I'm not holding her hand enough.

I'm thinking, "Leisha, I don't honestly think you will be happy

- "unless I was... - You're stuck to her.

"..constantly holding your hand, arm around you,

"literally, like, rocking you like a baby."

Relationships shouldn't be second-thinking

every movement, every sentence, all the time.

Reiss has got a lot on his mind.

Leisha sounds a little bit demanding.

That will be a problem for Reiss,

and that might be the straw

that breaks the camel's back in this relationship.

This marriage is everything to me.

I've decided to wear

my wedding dress that I first met Reiss in.

It holds a lot of meaning. It means the world to me.

I've never experienced this kind of love before.

Reiss is my best friend...

..and he is my forever person.

But I just don't know if I'm his.

I know exactly where my heart lies.

Once I say I love you, I mean that.

I do fear that Reiss's feelings for me might not come...

..and that may make him realise

that this isn't something that he wants long-term.

Leisha's very special to me.

I love Leisha's personality.

Her kindness, her thoughtfulness.

Sometimes, Leisha can be a bit demanding.

She wasn't happy with the affection I was giving her.

Although I can see a future with Leisha...

..she can get me down with the bickering...

..and anyone who knows me knows that I cannot stand drama.

I've definitely found what I'm looking for,

but I do get fearful that Reiss may not feel the same.

If he does decide to not renew his vows...

..I will be heartbroken.

My life is on the line here.

I never want to hurt Leisha...

..but I just need to be honest.

I know where my head's at.

I've done what I think is best for me and my future.

Hello.

- You look lovely. - Thank you, so do you.

You good?

I'm good.

Reiss...

..I never thought I'd be standing here today

after going through such an emotional rollercoaster with you...

..but here we are.

Looking back on the first day I met you,

I knew you were going to be someone that I cared a lot about.

You make me laugh every single day.

I couldn't have done this with anyone else.

However...

..while I have given you my all,

at times I have felt it's not been reciprocated.

I'm scared that if you haven't

already got these feelings for me now...

..they may never come.

And I'm nervous that this combined with the distance...

..may hinder our relationship after the experiment is over.

I know how much you've said you hate drama...

..so I worry that our marriage may be too much for you.

Or maybe I may be too much for you.

But, Reiss...

..we do have an amazing connection.

You're my best friend,

you've let me be my complete and utter self...

..and I'm so grateful that I've been matched with you.

So thank you.

I've given you my heart now,

and now I'm trusting you not to break it.

This experience has brought us together...

..and I know that you are the person

I want to create both a life and a family with,

until we are old and grey.

I'm certainly in love with you.

Forever Reisha.

So...

Right...

As I stand here today at our Vow Renewal...

..I can't believe how far we've come.

Since the first day I met you,

I felt a connection.

I knew I'd found someone special, who was right for me.

We flew to our honeymoon and everything went great.

But it's also where I had my first concerns.

On the flight home, it was an instant trigger for me,

seeing my wife flirt with another man.

It was hard, and it took me some time to get over it.

I can't say this relationship has been the easiest.

Whenever things were going good, something would always crop up

that would take us off track and put us back a couple of steps.

I feel like you put pressure on me

to move at a faster pace than I was ready for.

I feel these issues have caused a lot of friction...

..unwanted drama...

..and tension in our relationship.

And there were times when I have questioned it all.

I feel so scared.

I love this boy.

If this marriage doesn't work out, I would feel utterly devastated.

So...

Leisha...

Please don't break my heart.

Next time...

I felt like I was not enough for you.

..Reiss is faced with a defining decision.

There have been some times

where I've struggled with our marriage.

I don't know how much more I can do for you.

And, while seeking advice from those they trust most...

Can you see yourself moving down south to Bailey?

I don't know.

It'd break me heart if you left.

I'm worried that this won't work outside of the experiment.

That's my biggest fear right now.

..the final two couples face the agonising dilemma...

This is the biggest decision I've ever had to make.

My entire future is riding on this,

but I just have so many doubts.

I am in love with Davide,

but love isn't enough to keep a relationship going.

..to recommit forever...

I know Bec loves me,

but is she ready to uplift her life for that love?

..or end their marriage once and for all.

It hasn't all been highs.

Our communication broke down.

We couldn't find resolve.

Can our marriage survive the hundreds of miles between us?

Am I willing to take that huge risk for love?

The answer...

..Bailey...

Oh, God.
