Married At First Sight Season 19 Episode 10 featured couples going to a weekend retreat. They spent time with fellow couples and also with their respective partners.

Cast members had many heartfelt and emotional connections about their growing bond. One of the conversations featured in the latest episode was between Jalyn and Belynda. It was about Josh's thoughts on joining communities and creating groups.

While he was looking forward to joining communities, as he used to, with Jalyn, she felt differently. She told him about being with people they were already going on a journey with. Jalyn was referring to the social experiment through which the two met and got married.

Jalyn had a deep conversation with Belynda and shared her thoughts on the situation:

"I think I'm just like, irritated. Because he does...I feel like he didn't appreciate me. That's what I feel. I think that's where I'm just like, like I want to feel like he knows who I am."

Married At First Sight Season 19 Episode 10: Couples spend time at the weekend retreat and develop connections with fellow participants

The latest Married At First Sight Season 19 episode featured four couples visiting the weekend retreat. This included Belynda, Chad, Josh, Jalyn, Meghann, Derrek, Will, and Brittany.

While talking to the male participants, Josh opened up about his connection with Jalyn. He noted that the two had a pretty good connection.

"I'm feeling pretty good. Because Jalyn and I are doing pretty good. But we definitely needed the expert visit. We definitely had some stuff that we were working through...was necessary to bring them in."

On the other hand, Jalyn talked to female cast members about her bond and understanding with Josh. She noted that the expert helped him realize what he thought about the communities in terms of his identity.

"They helped him realize that a lot of what he thinks...that his identity is... these festivals, but it's much deeper than that, and it's him trying to figure out how to find those feelings, and like, in our relationship, and like, day to day life," shared Jalyn.

Brittany noted that it might be the case that Josh needed such while he was single. He might not need it anymore because he was not single at the moment. Married At First Sight star Jalyn talked about Josh wanting to go to the events to make connections and find communities.

A flashback clip from that morning was shown, featuring a conversation between Jalyn and Josh on the subject. He talked about what kind of groups the two could create together. When Jalyn asked what groups he was referring to, he mentioned communities.

She responded that they could find their people through the experiment they were going with. He agreed but also noted that he didn't find it as a community. He looked at it as if he were hanging out with his friends.

In her private confession, Married At First Sight's Jalyn noted:

"I just feel like there's no possible way he doesn't understand community. So the only thing I'm thinking is that he just really hasn't seen that and I think that now I am taking it personally, and now I am offended because that's all that I feel like I have shown him."

Later, Jalyn had a private chat with fellow cast member Belynda. She noted that her community was her cycling group. She recalled being in many different communities, where she got herself into. However, Josh was stressed about the situation.

Married At First Sight star Belynda noted that Josh might not have been able to connect with people the way he connected through those events. She tried to tell Jalyn that there was a lack of knowledge. She also added that it was not that Josh didn't appreciate her.

Belynda told her not to feel like she was not being valued. Because that was not the case. In response, Jalyn noted that she was irritated and felt as if he didn't appreciate her. She wanted him to know who she was and wanted to feel it.


Fans can follow Jalyn and Josh's journey by streaming Married At First Sight Season 19 on Hulu.
