I have been watching Married at First Sight from Day 1 and began my sleuthing there. And I can tell you 100% that at least two of the couples are still together.
If you go back on Jamie's twitter she thanked a fan for being a "Great secret keeper". Well, I went to that persons twitter account (who was private) and sent a request. She accepted and had posted (and deleted the next day) that she was so excited to see that her favorite "reality" couple are still together and saw them at the Atlantic City Boardwalk. She also tweeted "I"m a great secret keeper!" And then TWEETED that to Jamie and Jamie replied with "Yes you are". I wish I had a way to copy the screenshots I took on my phone but it DID happen and it was the first week of August!
Also, Jason and Cortney were in NC together over the 4th (as many of you have stated already.) One of her IG friends posted pictures of them and another couple posing and wearing red, white and blue hats.
My last bit of proof is a tad more personal and there is no way to deny this. My sister in law works with Jamie and as of earlier this week, Doug's picture is in Jamie's locker. BAM!

She's come a LONG way since that first day with Doug, she was not into him at all, didn't even want him touching her and then slowly she started opening up and giving more of herself-yes due to Doug's patience, personality and willingness to go more slow. She opened up about her past and that was hard for her and what happens when she confronts Doug about smoking, he lies-something she's totally against, can't blame her...she barely knows this guy she's living with and he breaks that trust! My walls would be going back up too! If you don't have trust in a relationship what kind of relationship do you have, you'll always wonder what he's lying about next...and especially with Jamie and the past she's had. Looks like she forgave him...and I'm sure as she's watching the show back she's cringed a bit at some of the things she said to him and hope she'll be more 'giving' and 'loving' in their relationship if they decided to give the marriage a shot or it won't be lasting long.

I see Cortney & Jason making it, they seem perfect for each other.

Monet & Vaughn, no way do I see that relationship working out. It's all about him and what he wants and needs (although he won't admit that).

You could say the same thing about Jamie. It's all about her and what she wants, (although she won't admit it). No one is unsympathetic to her difficult upbringing, but if you have issues rooted that deep and for that long, then you really don't need to be in a relationship. If she has trust issues, then she doesn't need to be in a relationship. Why say you forgive someone then constantly bring it up time and time again? Ok Doug lied about smoking, she was hurt by that, he apologized, she accepted it, now both parties MUST move on. If she's incapable of doing that then she doesn't need to be in a relationship. I guess the point I'm trying to make is.....FIX YOURSELF FIRST.  

Well, if everyone who has "issues" and needs to work on themselves avoided relationships, there'd be many fewer relationships.  Dysfunction is all around.

I'm on the apparently very short "give Jamie a break" train.  There really is no time table for how quickly somebody falls in love, and despite this show stipulating 5 weeks, Jamie is being honest with both herself and Doug in that she isn't there yet, and doesn't know if she will be there within the allotted time frame.  I'm sure she hoped she would be when she signed on to this, and of course technically, she can continue to stay married even if she's still not in love but is at least optimistic that it will/could happen.  I think she's doing her best, and if it wasn't good enough for Doug, or if he didn't feel she was worth it, he would have emotionally checked out long ago.  Although they're married, the dynamic is no different than a dating situation where one party is more invested, or moves quicker emotionally, than the other, sometimes because of baggage, and sometimes for other reasons.  I do wonder if Jamie had been physically into Doug from the get go and the couple had started having sex by now whether it would have changed things for her.  Although I suppose if she had gone ahead and started sleeping with him even though she wasn't in love with him, and then ended it, she would have gotten criticized for that as well.

I guess I just can't hate on the girl for not falling in love with Doug fast enough to suit the fans.

They also kept showing Jamie and Jason expressing doubt and Jamie making snide remarks. Knowing the editing of this show, the outcome will definitely be the opposite of what they're insinuating. It'll be interesting to see if these marriages will work long-term. A few months means very little.

I agree, and was disappointed in the editing.  The thing I've enjoyed about this show is that it seemed more documentary-style, less "reality tv".  It felt like they were going for total drama last night.  It seemed a lot more "Bachelor", if that makes sense, trying to build up suspense and lead you in a certain direction, when it's been the opposite all season.  It felt a little unsavory.
