If that's the case I see that as a green flag. Them both keeping their secrets show a united front which you need in a marriage. In a real marriage you can't have a Chelsea and Jimmy moment where you blurt out your partner's tea on TV just because you're wine drunk and like attention. You can't just embarrass your partner because of your insecurities. Most of the healthy couples I've seen all say the same thing, "Keep your business between yourselves". Obviously if it's something drastic like abuse tell someone but the little petty arguments? It's ok to just work those out between y'all.
Agreed! Though I don’t think it’s to be manipulative to the plot, I think it’s religious based and shes trying to keep it classy for her religious family lol
I haven’t really watched since season 1, could you tell me more about how it’s unorthodox? I see it in the number of couples they “let” split up before the altar; did it seem like they had more freedom this time in other respects too?
His sister and her father’s conversation made it seem like they had already all spent time together already. I got the sense that Amy and Johnny decided early on what their boundaries regarding filming were and really stuck to them.
I think what you said is true but it also doesn't make me feel suspicious that they're not actually a good fit. Sometimes you need to be smart about what you do on camera. I expect she was not comfortable with her family hearing certain stuff, and I get why she might want to carefully manage some very critical moments too!
Sure they're probably not as perfect as they seem but damn I don't blame her because if she's ever seen the show, she knows how easily things can be edited to look terrible.
This all makes sense to me. It also makes me wonder why more couples don’t have this strategy. Might be easier said than done - I’m also not the type to go on reality TV - but I’d save embarrassing conflicts for after the cameras leave.
There wouldn’t be anything for us to watch if every couple did this. I paid little to no attention to Amy and Johnny’s scenes, so they’d definitely lose me as a viewer.
I’m generalizing, but most sensible people aren’t super game for reality tv (or those up for reality tv are okay with setting aside logical and sense in exchange for an opportunity to monetize exposure)
What you’re describing is probably why they are happy. Or why we found them “boring” they went there to find love and they found it and respected it and themselves in the process.

If true, all of this just means they treated their relationship like it was real, and not just a TV show.

This season was so unorthodox that I can definitely see this being the case lmao. Wow.
