Kgomotso Christopher is the star of SABC’s hugely popular soapie series Isidingo. She plays the gorgeously evil character Katlego Sibeko, a role that seems to have been tailor-made for her, expect she is warm and sweet and uses her beauty only for good. Her husband is American,  Calvin Chrisopher and together they have two beautiful children. The couple has been together for an impressive 15 years and had their impressive wedding in the Muldersdrift in Gauteng.  Here is a list of 5 important marriage and relationship lessons we took from her interview with Nubian Bride magazine.

1. When it’s right it won’t always be an uphill battle
We just loved spending time together. We realised that this thing was bigger than me and him. We never had to fight for things to go our way.

2. Even if there are differences, you should still share some core values
Even though my husband is American he has always been very worldly and sensitive to other cultures. He has always surrounded himself with people outside of his circle. We have more in common than not. We were both raised by single parents and we are both from black communities.

3. A good marriage and fun relationship take work
We are still spontaneous. We fight for our youthfulness and we are holding on to that first burst of love.

4. Every moment spent together counts
The simplest of moments are what matter. If he has time he will bring the kids along to the set so we can all have lunch. Sometimes I will go to his office and squeeze in a quick lunch.

5. Even if you are married, hold on to those parts that make you you
Don’t change. That’s part of the myth of marriage, especially for women because we take on other roles and forget to be ourselves.
