Married at First Sight’s Becca and Austin are opening up about their spiritual variations in Us Weekly’s unique sneak peek of the Wednesday, January 3, episode.
Within the clip, the 2 sit down subsequent to one another on a sofa whilst on a video name with Pastor Calvin Roberson, who asks Austin if he may just see “other possibilities” in terms of faith.
“One thing that we kinda connected on was the similarities between Christianity, Judaism and Islam,” he says. “So I’m somewhat agnostic in the fact that there are so many similarities, like they could all be the same thing. Like, who’s to say? Who knows? I don’t, that’s for sure.”
Whilst Becca was once raised Jewish however identifies as agnostic, Austin is Christian. In spite of their variations, Austin notes that he’s “always open” to studying extra without reference to his upbringing and afterlife ideals.
“I don’t think any of that affects how I care for you,” he provides. “Like, I can still love you regardless of whatever happens in the afterlife.”
Becca, in the meantime, will get visibly emotional, replying: “And I’m thankful for that, but I’m just saying, like, if he were paired with a Christian woman…”
Pastor Cal interjects to give an explanation for that the pair have been selected as a fit as a result of “we felt that you would be compatible.” He tells the couple that the “only reason” they're appearing “this kind of emotion” is as a result of the “deep passion” they really feel for one every other.
“Austin the other night accidentally told me he loved me, but it was a joke,” Becca says with fun. “He was really tired and he said, ‘Love you, goodnight.’”
When Pastor Cal notes that if the pair “didn’t care for one another,” this dialog wouldn’t be going down, Becca tearfully replies: “I’m feeling this way because I want us to work so badly.”
“And that’s what’s going to make you work, that is the thing that you need to hold on to,” Pastor Cal says. “The fact that you want this so badly. That is where you need to focus.”
Becca and Austin have been matched in combination throughout season 17 of the Lifetime truth courting sequence and tied the knot after they met on the altar as strangers. They're two of the ten other people featured in this season of Married at First Sight, which is primarily based in Denver, Colorado.
Becca and Austin prior to now were given candid about their spiritual perspectives in a November episode of the display.
“I know that there might be differences there because I was raised Jewish but I’m personally agnostic, but I also know that those differences have caused me such anxiety before in past relationships. And with you, I don’t feel that,” she stated.
Austin, who famous that he’s “plain old Christain,” added that his folks “didn’t exactly line up on faith.” He stated that gazing his folks navigate faith was once really useful bearing in mind he and Becca “might have differences in those areas.”
“We know we do,” Becca identified. “But, like, there’s so much else there, where in past relationships there hasn’t [been] and I’ve only looked for those commonalities, latched on to those commonalities and used those as a foundation — and that has failed me. I feel, like, by us building a foundation on all of the other aspects of our relationship and on all of our other strengths and everything else, we will be able to get through a lot.”
Married at First Sight season 17 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
