Although they've only just tied the knot, Mark and Lindsey have endured one of the most fascinating relationships in Married At First Sight season 14, but some fans think Mark and Lindsey are moving too fast for the short time they've known each other. Despite having just met each other, Mark and Lindsey's marriage has already been put to the test a few times and viewers believe the newlyweds are getting ahead of themselves. From Lindsey's unpredictable personality to Mark's sudden cold feet, here's why fans think Mark and Lindsey are moving too fast in Married At First Sight season 14.
Before Mark and Lindsey even laid eyes on each other, fans were concerned about the trajectory of their marriage. While Mark enthusiastically waited to meet his arranged wife at the altar, Lindsey got drunk on a couple of bottles of champagne. Lindsey's overwhelming wedding day fiasco demonstrated that she could be a difficult spouse to handle. This theory was validated when Lindsey started a fight with fellow Married At First Sight season 14 cast member, Olajuwon. Before even landing in their honeymoon destination, Lindsey created a tense dynamic between herself and her co-stars. Still, Mark remained dedicated to his partner, which made some fans argue that Mark and Lindsey are moving too fast.
Although she hasn't been everyone's cup of tea, Mark has demonstrated that he's head-over-heels for Lindsey in Married At First Sight season 14. Even after she almost initiated a physical fight with Olajuwon, Mark proved himself to be a dutiful husband by standing by Lindsey. Additionally, Lindsey's conveyed that she's all-in on her marriage with Mark as she even joked that she'd get rid of her cats for him. In a clip for an upcoming episode, however, Lindsey and Mark's idyllic marriage faces its first obstacle. Although Mark intended to create a romantic moment for himself and Lindsey, he swiftly ruins the mood by asserting that he wants to take it slow as they continue to embark on their relationship. Predictably, this upset Lindsey, who slammed Mark for having sex with her before asking to slow down. Fans agree that Mark and Lindsey are moving too fast.
Although Married At First Sight fans agree with Mark's declaration that their marriage is moving too fast, viewers think it's too late for the reality star to pump the brakes. Lindsey confessed that she and Mark have already had sex and have become comfortable enough for Mark to fart around her. Fans believe Mark is creating confusion by pulling back after being intimate with his new wife. A Reddit user assessed, "[Mark] telling her 'Let’s slow down' after being intimate is hurtful, and she probably feels rejected." While viewers can sympathize with Mark's desire to take it slow, fans think the husband shouldn't have moved so quickly to begin with. Additionally, viewers think Mark's realizing who he got married to too late. One fan shared, "[Mark's] only known her a couple days and she's... gotten into aggressive confrontations." Mark needed to learn who Lindsey was before getting so attached.
Lindsey and Mark moved at the speed of light for their first episodes as a couple in Married At First Sight season 14, and fans agree that Mark and Lindsey are moving too fast. From having sex to Lindsey's outbursts, it might be too late for Mark to slow down the hasty pace the pair have been running at. Hopefully, the Married At First Sight stars learn that marriage is a marathon, not a sprint before they fall flat on their faces.
