Calvin Roberson is a popular speaker, author, marriage coach, and relationship expert.
For almost 30 years he has dedicated his life to coaching couples through their marital issues. In 2013, he also founded the Progression Church.

When he is not on the Married at First Sight set, he can often be found posting about his life on Instagram to over 244,000 followers.
Background checks are followed by further application stages that take a closer look at the applicant, according to Cosmopolitan.
Producers rapidly weed out those aiming for fame from the show and only accept those who are sincerely seeking love and a fulfilling marriage as applicants.
The qualified candidates also go through thorough psychological and physical examinations.
Pastor Calvin Roberson, a show counselor, explained to ET: “We’re looking at things like their psychological testing, their core values… These are legally binding marriages. Annulment is not an option.”
Be ready to go through an extremely rigorous application process if you’re ever interested in appearing on Married at First Sight.
The show’s producers take the coupling seriously and go to great lengths to get rid of anyone who might be potentially dangerous to other contestants.
Following the completion of the application, each applicant undergoes a strict background investigation, during which their whole criminal history will be combed through, ET reported.
Additionally, credit checks are performed to estimate any outstanding obligations you might have because producers do not want to pair you up with someone who will have to deal with significant debt from the beginning.
However, before further thorough investigations are finished, this is merely the initial stage of the application procedure.
During last week's episode, Clint mentioned to Domynique that their exes were going on a date.
In a confessional, Dom slammed the date as “weird” and compared it to “dating a coworker.”
She added that Gina has her life figured out and hinted that her ex is less put together.
Clint said he wished his ex well and if it worked out, he’d “get them a gift card.”

Many couples struggle to marry at first sight and haven’t lasted longer than the show.
The following couples have parted ways since their time on the show:
Even though participants are thrown into a marriage before even seeing their spouse, the show has produced more successful couples than the hit series The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
The first three seasons of Married at First Sight had a 22 percent success rate vs 21.8 percent for The Bachelor and The Bachelorette couples, according to Reality Blurred.
Many couples decide to stay married once the show ends but sometimes things don’t always work out.
Executive producer Chris Coelen said: “We will contribute within a certain period of time if they get divorced.”
He continued: “We will help them cover the costs of an attorney if they choose to do that. I don’t know what the amount is. It’s nominal,” per Screenrant.
In the American version of the show, contestants really do get married.
As per Yahoo!, the couples on Married At First Sight enter a legal union and sign a marriage license after the ceremony is taped.
On the UK version of the show, however, marriages are not legally binding.
Although the ceremonies don’t end with a legal document, couples can choose to get married for real at the end of the series.
The last couple that became parents after a stint on Married at First Sight is Briana Myles and Vincent Morales from season 12.

The couple welcomed their son, Reign, last summer.
Although many couples who meet on Married at First Sight struggle to go the distance, there are success stories from the show.
Particularly, the following couples not only stayed married after filming but also took the parenting leap and had kids together.
Dough Hehner and Jamie Otis from season one have two kids together named Henley Grace and Hendrix Douglas.
Ashley Petta and Anthony D’Amico from season five also have two kids named Mila Rose and Vaeda Marie.
