In this episode of The House of Hormones, we’re joined by Charlene Douglas, relationship expert from Married at First Sight.
Charlene works with couples on one of the world’s most talked-about relationship shows, helping them navigate intimacy, communication, conflict, and emotional connection. In this conversation, we go behind the scenes of the show and dive deep into the psychology of relationships — from why people get “the ick” to how hormones influence libido and intimacy.
We also explore how our upbringing shapes the way we love, why healthy relationships require self-reflection, and how couples can communicate openly about desire, personality differences, and conflict.
Charlene also shares what it’s really like working with couples on Married at First Sight, how experts deal with difficult behaviour on the show, and reflects on the passing of co-host Mel Schilling.
