As the drama of Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 reaches its climax, the latest episode delivered a whirlwind of emotions, breakups, and unexpected reconciliations. In a season already marked by tension and heartache, Episode 37 proved to be a turning point for several couples, culminating in some of the most memorable moments in the show's history.
On March 30, Beth made a bold decision, telling Teejay that she was pulling the pin on their marriage before even arriving at the vow ceremony. "I don’t want to stand there, put on a white dress like I did on my wedding day, pour my heart out to you — only for you to just reject me again," she expressed, clearly frustrated with the lack of connection. Her decision to leave was met with a nonchalant response from Teejay, who simply said, "K," as she wheeled her luggage out of the apartment. Beth's assertive break-up has been hailed as a textbook example of how to end a relationship decisively.
Meanwhile, Paul sought to mend his fractured relationship with Carina. After expressing remorse for his previous actions, he visited her to apologize and share how much he missed her. "I miss your smell," he awkwardly confessed, hoping to rekindle their connection. Carina, however, was less certain about their future together. Her mother, Carmel, flew in from Perth to support her daughter as she grappled with her feelings. During a heartfelt conversation at St Mary’s Cathedral, Carina opened up about her insecurities stemming from Paul's recent indiscretions.
As the couples prepared for their final vows, Jacqui delivered a stunning confession to Ryan. She revealed that she had given her number to Rory, her match from the Final Task, while gifting Ryan an uninspiring grey gym bag. "If I build a relationship with someone, it’s forever. Like, I intend them to be at my funeral and I intend to be at their funeral. That’s how forward-looking I am," she said, leaving Ryan bewildered.
In a dramatic turn, Awhina and Adrian found themselves in a circular argument after Awhina had stormed out of the previous dinner party. Their relationship has been tumultuous, and during their vows, they reflected on their chemistry but also their incompatibilities. "The brown-haired, brown-eyed boy I’ve been looking for is at home, missing his mum," Awhina admitted, acknowledging the challenges posed by their long-distance relationship. Despite this, the couple ultimately decided to see where their connection could lead, even after declaring they should part ways.
As the episode progressed, Jamie and Dave's relationship also faced scrutiny. Jamie received a sentimental photo album from Dave, prompting her to reflect on their bond. However, her sister Georgia questioned whether their relationship was genuine romance or merely a strong friendship. "I think she’s lying to herself. There’s no romance; it’s still sounding like they have a fantastic friendship," Georgia remarked. Jamie's internal conflict came to a head during the final vows, where she expressed her fears about Dave's feelings not matching hers. Yet, she ultimately decided to stay, saying, "But I also know I’m not ready to walk away from this or from you."
As the vows unfolded, the tension in the air was palpable. Awhina’s sister Cleo, who had been a voice of reason throughout the season, urged her to reconsider her choices regarding Adrian. "Would you be happy if you had a daughter with someone like Adrian?" she asked, highlighting the importance of self-worth in relationships. This moment resonated with viewers, as many questioned whether Adrian was truly the right partner for Awhina.
In a shocking twist, the episode ended on a cliffhanger. Just as Paul and Carina were about to exchange their vows, the screen faded to black, leaving fans anxious to see what would happen next. Paul, who had been struggling with his feelings, was left in a vulnerable state, reportedly freezing and blinking rapidly before collapsing onto a bench, inconsolable after Carina's heartfelt speech. "You had me... and you lost me," she told him, signaling the end of their tumultuous relationship.
As viewers eagerly anticipate the next episode, the fallout from these final vows promises to be explosive. Will Awhina and Adrian's rekindled romance withstand the pressures of reality? Can Paul and Carina find closure after their emotional rollercoaster? With only a few episodes left, fans are on the edge of their seats, wondering how these relationships will resolve.
Married At First Sight continues to air on Sundays at 7 PM and Mondays at 7:30 PM on Channel 9 and 9Now, leaving fans hooked on the drama and uncertainty of love in the experiment.
