The ladies are back with another TV x book hybrid episode! This week they’re giving book recommendations to the five couples on the latest season of Married at First Sight. Skye & Amanda explain the premise of the show’s experiment and each give their overall thoughts. Hear the two discuss whether or not they would sign themselves up for a modern day arranged marriage and Skye’s idea for a less committed version of the show. 

Find out what books each host would suggest for a wife struggling with an emotionally abusive partner, a relationship that lacks intimacy, a couple fighting over pets and a husband who doesn’t do well with change.
