During Tuesday night's Married at First Sight: Unfiltered special hosted by Season 1 cast member Jamie Otis, bonus footage played of Dave, Amber and the other two couples -- Bobby Dodd and Danielle Bergman as well as Tristan Thompson and Mia Bally -- discussing how they felt about "Decision Day" given it was only three weeks away from that point in the process.
Danielle and Dave appeared on Unfiltered, and after watching the bonus clip, the pair talked about how they were feeling at the halfway point.

"I feel like Bobby and I are on the same page. I feel like it's just another hurdle, another day, that we're going to have to get through. We're really not sweating it," Danielle said to Jamie.
Danielle and Bobby have yet to even argue on Married at First Sight's seventh season, but Danielle acknowledged such a dynamic is impossible to maintain in a marriage.
"We know it's coming," Danielle admitted. "People just don't go through life without fighting. Like, we're going to fight."

When Jamie asked Dave how he felt about the fact "Decision Day" was "looming" in the near future, he replied, "[I'm feeling] a little bit differently" than Danielle, "unfortunately."

"I think that we all enter this hoping that at eight weeks we're going to want to stay together," Dave explained, "but I also don't think you can just necessarily count on that. For me, at this point, it's a little bit more of a 'let's see what happens.'"
Dave suggested things needed to change in his relationship with Amber in order to achieve long-term success as a couple.
"I think if we don't find our way to a more positive place of being more on the same page and pulling in the same direction, [it won't work]," Dave confessed.
"We've had so many things that have created roadblocks in our relationship so far, and if we can't get past those things, I think it's going to be a tough decision."

Jamie then asked Dave the following: "Right here, right now, one month into your marriage, where are you?"
"Optimistic, absolutely," he responded. "I think we've gone through a lot, but at the end of the day, I knew what I was getting into."
Dave reasoned, "I knew this was an experiment. I knew it was a leap of faith. And I think there are reasons that we were matched together and I'm looking forward to continuing to find those reasons out and to move forward in a positive direction."
"Everybody is different," Danielle noted in Dave's defense.
