Married At First Sight UK Season 10 Episode 17: Dean and Sarah talk to the experts regarding their connection

The last couple to sit on the couch in front of the experts was Dean and Sarah. They faced questions regarding their relationship and bond with each other. Experts asked Sarah about not feeling the "spark" and her previous comments about the same.

"For me, things have been moving positively. But I can't seem to get to that sort of spark. And I think I'm getting it in my head about it for quite a bit at the minute," shared Sarah.

When expert Melanie Schilling asked Dean about "feeling fancy" for Sarah, he agreed. But when she asked if his feelings were reciprocated, Dean responded that he wasn't sure. He added that it could be more.

Married At First Sight UK star Dean recalled his meeting with his friend, James. He faced some questions regarding his connection. When Dean thought about it, he noted that it was himself, who initiated little things. He was referring to hand-holding and other similar gestures.

"And I realized, oh yeah, it is me at the majority of time," added Dean.

While he also wanted Sarah to initiate things, he was also worried that if he didn't initiate, then those things might not happen. He noted that it was a tricky place to be in.

After their conversation, expert Paul C Brunson asked Dean:

"You've heard all of our feedback. You've heard the feedback from your friends. You've seen the feedback from your partner in terms of not being receptive. So you have all of this information. What are you going to do with it?"

Married At First Sight UK star Dean replied that he would listen to the experts.

Another expert, Melanie Schilling, asked Dean about what he deserved in a relationship. He replied that he deserved more. He deserved someone who would adore everything about him. He noted that he deserved to not have to ask to hold hands.

The expert agreed and told him that he deserved more. She told Sarah that she also deserved more.
