Married at first sightBecca worries that she has exhausted her efforts to spark greater intimacy with her husband, Austin.

In an exclusive sneak peek of Wednesday’s episode of the Lifetime series, Becca admits she struggles with the lack of intimacy she’s been getting from Austin. Despite her best efforts, she fears the couple will “run out of options” when it comes to new ways to foster a romantic relationship.

“I know Austin means well and I know he’s committed to me. But it’s hard when you keep pushing things and then you keep facing rejection,” she says in the confessional. – I’m running out of ideas.

“I’m running out of ways to connect that separate us from a friendship, from a romantic relationship, that are ways that he’s comfortable with that still meet my needs,” she adds. – It seems as if we are running out of avenues.
