Jacob Harder from Married at First Sight is a quiet guy who has focused mostly on his career. He'd let romance fall by the wayside, which was why he decided to change his life by appearing on the show. Jacob admitted that he is a kind of a loner and that he's struggled to connect with women. However, he was hopeful that the experts would be able to find someone who was just right for him.
So far, Jacob and his wife Haley Harris haven't agreed on much. They may have ambition in common, but they need to find more common ground in order to make their marriage work. Even if their relationship fails, Jacob will still have his dream house. He'll also have his career, which has helped him to accumulate impressive wealth.
One of the first things that Haley and her family learned about Jacob is that he loves his house, as the 39-year-old couldn't stop talking about his home at their wedding. It was obvious that he was very proud of his home improvements. It might have been nerves that made him talk so extensively about his residence, but by the end of the night, everyone knew about it. His honeymoon with Haley went relatively well, and Jacob was the only cast member who managed to stay out of the Chris and Paige situation.
Jacob and Haley did get into a massive argument, as Jacob felt that Haley was pulling away from him after they slept together. Haley and Jacob have both been cheated on, so those past traumas could be affecting them. They may not want to get too close in case they get hurt. They managed to talk it out and start fresh, but if they want the relationship to work, they need to be more open with one another.
Jacob was lonely before he joined the show, but those years he spent focusing on his career paid off in terms of cold, hard cash. The 39-year-old IT analyst bought his much-talked-about house in 2019 for about $275,000. It is a 23,000 square foot house with four bedrooms, located in East Cobb County, Georgia. His senior programmer skills may allow him to earn a yearly salary of $90,000 or more, and Jacobs's net worth is estimated to be $600,000.
Haley and Jacob have been rather awkward so far. Fans are hoping they have a breakthrough and figure out a way to really fall in love. Otherwise, they may not say yes on Decision Day. It's possible that they are too different to work, and some viewers will blame the experts for another sketchy match, as they did when Chris and Paige were paired up.
If Haley and Jacob fail, it is not because they aren't great people individually. Going on Married at First Sight is always a gamble. Some people can't be like Woody and Amani Randall, or Ashley and Anthony D’Amico. Those dream matches happen once every season, and this season, the dream match appears to be Briana and her car salesman hubby Vincent Morales.
