#MAFS Exclusive Clip
An exclusive clip from tonightโs episode shows Emem and Ikechi meeting with Dr. Pia. They agreed to reset their marriage, but communication between them is still nonexistent, and the #MAFS expert is trying to understand why.
According to Ikechi, itโs because he doesnโt feel like heโs married.
Dr. Pia asks him flat-out if he wants to be in his marriage, and a solemn Ikechi responds.
โI donโt feel like it is a marriage, definitley not what I thought it was gonna be.

Dr. Pia says heโs โdamn right,โ considering that he and Emem donโt do things married people do, like communicate, โstick true to their word, give each other grace, and spend quality time together.โ
โIs it possible to put forth more effort in that?โ asks the #MAFS expert.

โIt doesnโt feel like a want or desire to go any further,โ answers Ikechi flatly.
This upsets Emem, and she walks out.
