Dr. Logan Levkoff visited Jaclyn Methuen and Ryan Rannellone and learned about the "Intimacy" issues, according to an A&E teaser.


Methuen explained that she and her husband did have sex, but that he eventually backed off. This made her feel insecure, and she hoped Levkoff could provide more answers. Rannellone then reveals that he felt he could not continue being intimate with her because he didn't have feelings for her.

"I didn't want to lead her on," he said.

Levkoff then explained to the camera that being intimate was crucial for the couple. Otherwise, she doesn't know how it will continue to grow.

Another teaser video shows that it's not just Methuen and Rannellone who suffered issues in the bedroom.

"Conflict" was how A&E titled Tuesday night's ninth episode of "Married at First Sight," and the channel's description fit perfectly: The newlyweds did, in fact, need some help as they "learn to cope with conflicts arising in their relationships."

That assistance came in the form of Joseph Cilona, a psychologist who first tackled the case of Ranellone and Methuen -- the trouble couple turned lovebirds turned trouble couple, the Daily Mail noted.

Their relationship started out rocky after Methuen admitted that she was not physically attracted to her husband and even considered leaving him at the altar. But when the two returned from their Puerto Rico honeymoon, some chemistry started to develop, and they finally consummated their marriage two weeks ago.

But over the last two episodes, the 29-year-old husband had a number of clashes with his 30-year-old wife, and this week, Ranellone went so far as to say that he feels "trapped" in his marriage to Methuen, the British newspaper detailed.

"This is not where I want to be," he said about the state of their relationship.

But Cilona noted that it was largely up to Ranellone himself to make the marriage to Methuen work.

"He has to be open," the psychologist insisted, "or this won't go anywhere."

Jessica Castro and Ryan DeNiro, whose interactions go "from waves of uncomfortable silence to explosive arguments," meanwhile, got some advice from sociologist Pepper Schwartz, who suggested the two should start each day by naming a few things they liked about each other.

But that did not help to significantly improve the newlyweds' relationship, either, the Daily Mail noted.

"I feel like instead of getting support, you are just putting me down," Castro told DeNiro in "Conflict."

Sean Varricchio, finally, turned to professional help to get over his trouble adjusting to big-city life in New York, a problem that has weighed heavily on his marriage to Davina Kullar, who complained that "this guy takes one step forward, several steps back."

Cilona said some of Varricchio's anxieties were understandable, and Kullar appreciated her husband's willingness to reach out for help, TV Ruckus detailed.
