They were matched by the following Married at First Sight experts: Psychologist Dr. Jessica Griffin, sociologist Dr. Pepper Schwartz, and marriage counselor Pastor Calvin Roberson.
The Married at First Sight episode began on Day 30 of marriage, with the couples preparing to celebrate their one-month wedding anniversaries, which marked the halfway point through the Married at First Sight experiment.
Amber felt she made "a great team" with Dave, and in order to prove she'd make a good wife and mother, she decided to make a nice dinner for her husband.
Dave could tell cooking was "a new and foreign" activity for Amber, but he thought her effort was really cute. It meant a lot to Dave that she was stepping out of her comfort zone and trying something new.
Dave noted the gesture said a lot about who Amber is as a person, and he thought the meal was really good.
Meanwhile, Bobby and Danielle went shooting to explore each other's hobbies. Danielle was nervous and didn't know how to hold the gun, but she did a great job and Bobby was impressed. Danielle said it felt good to have a husband guide her through new experiences.

As for Tristan and Mia, they weighed the pros and cons about moving to Houston, TX. Mia was hesitant to leave Dallas and her family wasn't happy, but Tristan's tutoring business was suffering.
The idea of moving caused Mia additionally stressed, and she wondered how that would work long-term. Tristan was frustrated because he believed most of Mia's concerns came from her family's opinion and fears.
"I'd rather be around my family than yours," Tristan told Mia. "My family is more laid back and your family is more intense."
Regardless, Tristan wanted what would be best for Mia and their relationship. The couple acknowledged whichever decision they made could result in resentment from one person, which could be very detrimental to their marriage.

Once Danielle returned home from work, there was a basket filled with goodies from the Married at First Sight experts on her doorstep.
