Whew Chris…And Other Thoughts After Last Night’s “Married At First Sight”

Chris

If anyone left an impression, it was Mr. Chris. The first red flag was that he wanted a submissive wife. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the desire but submission, especially, in the Black church, is often used a catch all and a way for men to exercise their will in totality in relationships with women. His comments about a woman’s body “not being her own” is alarming.

Chris has a fascinating background. He was an ordained minister but apparently, the calling wasn’t all that strong because he left the church because he wasn’t making enough money.

More troubling than that is the fact that Chris has been engaged TWICE. And the last engagement ended just months ago. Chris jumped into the relationship and jumped right out of it. He also shared that there might be a few people he needs to cut off.

I felt it was interesting to hear Chris say that he entered into this process because God knew he would fail on his own. Just because the experts have picked “the perfect match” doesn’t mean that there won’t be additional opportunities for Chris to still fail.

For better or worse, we know we’ll be paying attention to him all season.
