The spark was certainly there early for Virginia Coombs and Erik Lake on Married at First Sight. They both revealed early on that they found each other attractive. And at least initially, it seemed like the experts hit it out of the park with this match. But as Lifetime watchers know, early chemistry doesn’t always translate to a long-term marriage.

Meanwhile, there’s a honeymoon phase for the new couples on Married at First Sight. And Erik and Virginia really hit the ground running as far as that goes. At one point, the husband and wife told pastor Calvin Roberson that they both play with their rings just to make sure it’s real.

Cracks Starting to Show in New Marriage

As Married at First Sight watchers know, that initial honeymoon phase can be misleading for some couples. It’s easy to ride the wave of a new marriage and get caught up in the good feelings. But things can turn drastically once the pairs settle into everyday life and the real world kicks in.

In a lot of ways, Erik Lake and Virginia Coombs seem to be in different phases of their lives. Virginia seems to want to party and live a care-free lifestyle. Meanwhile, Erik Lake is considerably more conservative when it comes to things like that. Virginia told him that it’s a habit of hers to fall asleep on the couches of male friends. And that’s something Erik wasn’t happy to hear from his new wife.
