Married At First Sight Season 17: The Real Reason Austin & Becca Haven’t Talked About The “Hard Stuff” In Their Relationship

Married at First Sight season 17 couple Becca and Austin have not talked about the “hard stuff” in their marriage yet, which could become a problem.

However, outside of that, Becca and Austin have not discussed core and potentially controversial things that need to be discussed in a marriage.

They had a slight disconnect after Becca spent time with the wives on the honeymoon and gushed about her relationship with Austin. During Austin’s talk with the husbands, he downplayed how well he thought his marriage was going so as not to rub his happiness in the faces of the husbands who were struggling. Becca let him know she wished he had been more open, and Austin understood her concern and apologized. They may have sorted through those two issues okay, but bigger hurdles are ahead.

Becca and Austin have also not been intimate yet as they build their emotional connection.

They have proved so far that they are there for each other, but topics like religion, money, and lifestyle choices could prove to crack the Married at First Sight season 17 couple’s foundation they’ve built. How Becca’s health issues will develop and how Austin will handle them are also tough things that could make the relationship more work.
