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.

Haley, an account executive, is working to overcome trust issues, while Jacob, a senior IT analyst, wants to have kids soon.
