With experts Pastor Cal, Dr. Pepper and Dr. Viviana Coles at the helm of this dynamic social experiment, the couples will have access to professional guidance, as well as the support of one another along the way - even if the support they are given, comes in the form of some tough love.
Each new two-hour episode will capture each couple's emotional journey as they go from wedding to honeymoon, to early nesting and navigating the daily struggles that come with a new marriage. The newly matched couples will also get the opportunity to meet and share the good, the bad and the ugly about their unique unions. After the eight-week experiment comes to an end, each couple will make the biggest decision of their lives: to stay married or get a divorce. The love, stakes and the suspense couldn't get any higher on this incredible season of Married at First Sight:Boston.
The Season 14 Matchmaking Special will debut December 29th at 8p/7c, providing an in-depth exploration of the matchmaking process as many hopeful singles put their hearts on the line in order to find love. The following night, December 30th at 8p/7c, Lifetime debuts the Kickoff Special where Kevin Frazier hosts a panel of insider experts, for an exclusive first look at the epic upcoming season. The all-access, behind-the-scenes special takes a closer look at each of the five couples about to be married with never-before-seen moments from the selection process and previously unreleased secrets from the Married at First Sight experts.

Lindsey & Mark
Lindsey (34) has always looked up to her grandparents' relationship - they've been married for more than 70 years.

She firmly believes that the experts will be able to find her not just a man, but a partner in life.
Mark (37) has wanted to be married his entire life and has been on multiple dating apps, but meeting women who aren't ready to be a wife is frustrating for him. Nicknamed "Mark the Shark" he even applied to be Married at First Sight the last time the experts were in Boston and he feels that MAFS is destined to be his ticket to love! He's hopeful he'll finally get the answer to the question he's been asking for awhile now: "Mrs. Shark, where are you?!"
Noi & Steve

She is choosing to go on the Married At First Sight journey because she's tired of being let down. She trusts that the experts will have her best interest at heart.
Throughout his life, Steve (38) has had incredible examples of healthy, happy marriages. Recently, he found out his grandparents - who have been married for 60 years - had an arranged marriage.
