Married at First Sight

I’m not promoting the TV show, Married at First Sight. I write to call attention to it as a goldmine of human emotions, thought and will. If anything, love at first sight, could be considered more ‘absurd’, because much of first sight is about physical attraction. Many potentially great couples might have turned and walked in the opposite direction because they were initially not attracted. But, my God, have you ever met someone, who may not have every charm you desire, but because you spent time together, you thought what a wonderful guy/gal?

When we write romance we go heavy on interior monologue and sometimes backstory. Interior monologue and backstory are huge on this show. I’ve already an idea for a novel, must file it away for now.
Ask yourself this question about people who are willing to marry unseen and unknown. Why? Maybe they’re the types of people who have huge hearts, want to dedicate themselves to one person, the right person, and they rely on a team of dedicated experts to find him or her. There’s so much food for thought here, let me know what your ideas are, if you watch or not.
Regarding the guy’s POV, well I had little idea these dudes would be so willing, knowing that guys are so focused on looks. Consider this, guys, what makes a good woman/partner for life?
Regarding will and dedication: In the movie, The Theory of Everything, Professor Hawkings' girlfriend decides, despite his Lou Gehrig's disease (for which there is no cure but death), to marry and take care of him, if she can convince him to let her.
