The return of Married at First Sight is less than a month away.
The hit Lifetime series, on which spouses are matched by a group of experts, is heading south for season 12.
In this week's issue, PEOPLE exclusively reveals the 10 Atlanta-based singles ready to say "I do" to a complete stranger when the show returns on Jan. 13.
The series (produced by Kinetic Content) follows each couple's journey as they go from nuptials to honeymoon to moving in together — all while chronicling the daily struggles of working on their marriage. Finally, after several weeks together, they must make a life-changing decision: stay married or get divorced.
Meet the five new couples below.
