I can’t even imagine the balls it took for Jamie Otis and Dough Hehner to get married at first sight. But that’s exactly what they did! They were on the first season of the hit Lifetime show “Married at First Sight” and are coming up on their 5th wedding anniversary. In the last 5 years they’ve faced challenges just like every newlywed couples do, but they did it under the watchful public eye. And from what I can tell, a lot of people are rooting for them to make it! So I was very excited to talk with them and get some scoop on how they make it work.
If Jamie looks familiar outside of MAFS, it’s because she was a contestant on the 16th season of The Bachelor and the spin of The Bachelor Pad. She explains how her time on those shows changed her outlook on love and sent her right into the arms of Married at First Sight. That’s where she went through weeks of what I called pre-marriage counseling and high-level matchmaking and was paired with Doug Hehner to get married. You can read more about her story on their website, and hear what she says happened next and why she wanted to do that show in this episode.

In the last 5 years Doug and Jamie also started a podcast called Hot Marriage, Cool Parents where they talk about their unusual coupling and the joys of parenthood. I love how raw and honest they are about their journey and I know you will too. Listen to this episode on iTunes and don’t forget to leave a review!
