While many couples have been years in the making, some quickly find the in-person relationship is not what they anticipated. To test the strength of their love connections, the group participates in a series of fun and flirty relationship activities, couples therapy, and for some, a trip to the &#8220;boom boom room.&#8221; But visits from discerning loved ones, meddling opinions, and tension from others in the house challenge their bonds even further.

A few years ago their relationship hit a rough patch that they are still trying to recover from, especially given Shay&#8217;s trust issues. There&#8217;s a lot at stake for this couple.

(California) &#8211; Dating 5 Years<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aaron and Dymond met on Facebook and the two hit it off with their mutual upbringings and great conversation. They both are in love with one another and hope to solidify their relationship with a proposal but have hit some rocky roads along the way.
