Virginia Coombs and Erik Lake hit it off right away. They had an instant connection which is all participants can hope for when signing up for a show called Married At First Sight. The couple’s connection continued to grow on their honeymoon in Las Vegas and Virginia introduced her into her partying lifestyle. Although Erik enjoyed it, during the honeymoon, he worried how they would transition into regular life especially with their jobs. However, he may not need to worry about that since Virginia has created a career for herself as a customer experience specialist and has accumulated wealth.
The drama on the show this season has affected everyone...all but Jacob who has chosen to stay completely out of it. Chris Williams' drama managed to involve Virginia; she felt the need to point out that he had not made Paige Banks a priority. Chris did not take this well and blew up on her. In turn, she did the same and the two shouted at each other. Ever since their blow-up, Virginia said she would avoid Chris. Erik tried to defend her as a good husband should, but it only made the situation worse. Aside from the external drama, the only internal issues Erik and Virginia face are her drinking, which some fans think is not that bad and may just be the editing.
Hopefully, the negative editing does not affect her career. She has not had a lot of dating experience; she was single for five years before Married At First Sight, so viewers need to be patient with her. Fans will be interested to know that Virginia attended the University of Tennessee and she studied recreation and sports management. During her time there, she was part of a sorority, which could explain the partying. Her career in customer care suits her, since she loves to socialize. According to Stars Offline, the 26-year-old's job earns her $27,000 a year. Paired with the $1,500 couples get on the show per episode her net worth was estimated at $200,000.
Fans may not have faith in Virginia and Erik, but others feel like they might make it. Virginia experienced divorce with her parents and she hated it, so she won’t want to repeat her parent’s mistakes. With Married At First Sight participants need commitment, honesty, and integrity if they are going to build something genuine with the person they were paired with. They have what it takes to weather the test of time.
Erik appears to be committed to Virginia, and it is a bonus that they are both attracted to each other. They have consummated their marriage. Now they need to focus on the emotional aspect because that is the most important part. The pair have a long way to go, but with the guidance of the experts, their families, and friends they will figure out the marriage business together.
