Norway :
In May three couple were married in front of live cameras, in a reality show on national television. They had never met before.
"Married at first sight" is a reality show were a couple, a man and a woman,are brought together by a psychologist, an anthropologist and a priest.
The professionals,based on the participants different personalities, choose who they have to form a couple with. But none of the participants knew that they had to marry,after living together for only four weeks.
All of the couples decided to marry,to say "yes" in the church, a ceremony led by one of the professionals, the priest. And if the couples had any problem in the relationship during the short four weeks they had to get to know eachother, the other professionals, among them a psychologist, would try to solve the problem.
In Denmark, which had the same reality show last year, all three couple were divorced within in a year.

But,still, many, do not feel affected of the matter that we have turned marriage and divorce into public entertainment.
So,whats the future of marriage ? Turn on your television and you will find out...
