Can science help us fall in love? A new channel 4 show ‘Married At First Sight’ hopes to find out, as three couples, matched-up by a panel of experts, prepare to marry a total stranger.
On the show last week, we watched a panel of experts decide who will marry who after a year of rigorous testing, measuring and questioning.
But we wanted to know exactly what those questions were and, obviously, whether our respective lovers would match up. So we asked the show to give us a sample from their survey (there were 400 questions in total) so we could try taking the love test too.
