Married At First Sight season 18’s participants are dealing with serious pressure as the season gets underway, but participants Karla & Juan teased a potentially positive outcome for their relationship after years of low success for the series. Throughout Married At First Sight history, the series has matched up dozens of couples who have had the experience of a lifetime, whether it wound up in a successful relationship or not. With Married At First Sight season 18 just getting started, though, the pressure is on for the current couples to succeed, as matches in the last several seasons haven’t yielded success.
While the fates of the MAFS season 18 couples won’t be revealed for months, during a chat with Screen Rant, one couple seemed incredibly positive about their experience together. Karla and Juan, who were featured during the MAFS matchmaking special and will be part of the upcoming season, shared positive sentiments about their MAFS experiences during their chat, with Karla explaining that her outlook on MAFS is “positive. The experience was entertaining and real.” Both Karla and her MAFS groom seemed happy about their time on the series, with Juan even sharing he, “wouldn’t change anything about my MAFS experience.”
Karla and Juan teasing positivity and appearing to be a successful match is huge for the series.
What Juan & Karla’s Positive Sentiments Mean For MAFS Season 18
They Could Be A Successful Match
Although there’s not much known about Karla and Juan’s journey on the series, the positive sentiments they shared about having had a great MAFS experience seem hopeful. With both parties having shared that their experience together was something they felt at ease about, Karla and Juan teased a positive outcome for their marriage, a shock for long-time MAFS viewers. While many have been hopeful for a successful match, the statistics of the last several seasons speak for themselves. Going into Married At First Sight season 18, it seemed like finding a couple who would stick post-show could be hopeless.

Our Take On Married At First Sight Season 18’s Potential Success
Viewers Have Been Holding Onto Hope
Although the pair may be simply well-adjusted after their MAFS experience, Karla and Juan teasing positivity and appearing to be a successful match is huge for the series. After featuring only two successful matches in the last six seasons of the series, Married At First Sight has been under some major pressure to create solid couples who stay together after Decision Day. Despite this potentially not being the case for Karla and Juan, the fact that their Married At First Sight journey could be a success will allow viewers to settle in and enjoy the season more easily.
Married At First Sight airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on Lifetime.
Based on the Danish version of the series, Married at First Sight is a reality show/social experiment that gives singles a chance to find a lifelong partnership with one particular caveat: they must agree to marry a stranger arranged the moment they meet. Experts provide counseling and guidance as they help couples navigate their new marriage with their unknown partner and highlight the journey of the newlyweds from wedding to honeymoon to beginning their new lives together. At the end of eight weeks, couples will decide to stay married or divorce.
