Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors are blissfully in love.
While speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the NBCU Emmy Kick-Off Luncheon at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills on Friday, April 11, the Harlem actress, 43, gave an update on how life has been since marrying the Magazine Dreams star, 35.
Good says that newlywed life is “amazing,” but admits things do “feel different” after taking their relationship to the next level.
“It’s immense what it already is. When two people come together, they make the same choice and the same commitment,” she tells PEOPLE, adding that the other person is “making the same decision as you.”
“And there’s just something really beautiful about [it].”
While promoting Magazine Dreams on Sherri in March, Majors confirmed that he and Good secretly tied the knot after being first linked in May 2023.
Speaking to PEOPLE about their relationship on Friday, Good says, “I already felt like I had my person, I know it’s me and him against the world, whatever it may be.”
The Divorce in the Black star also calls Majors her “best friend.”
“And I enjoy him so much,” she adds.
Good tells PEOPLE, “I learned so much from him. But I think being husband and wife, you take on a different kind of partnership. And I think that while the commitment might already be there, it’s a different type of commitment because it’s lifelong, no matter what I’m riding with you [until] the wheels fall off.”
Additionally, the Think Like a Man actress says she feels like marriage is “also a commitment to being our best selves.”
She notes that there can always be challenges associated with relationships, whether “it’s your children or your parents or your siblings,” and that in “some way, shape or form, you’re a part of each other, you grew up somewhere within the same atmosphere or experience.”
“But when you choose someone who has grown up in a different place, has different siblings, a different life experience, you guys may be very similar, but you also might be very different,” Good says.
“The choice to love that person in all seasons, which as most of us know, it goes up and down and all around. But the choice to love that person is learning what is [as] close to how God loves us as possible. It’s an unconditional love where there are no conditions.”

She clarifies that she won’t deal with “something crazy,” telling PEOPLE, “but beyond that, what is challenging you to understand is how loved you are, what you deserve, and how much God loves you.”
“There’s a reflection of that love in marriage because of the level of commitment,” Good says.
Good was previously married to pastor DeVon Franklin, whom she finalized her divorce from in June 2022.
Majors was found guilty of two counts of misdemeanor assault and harassment in December 2023 and sentenced to complete one year of an “in person batterers” intervention program in April 2024.
