Married at First Sight Mzansi star Makoto Phumodi has opened up about her marriage, her husband and her time on the popular reality TV show. Season 2 of the show follows a group of singles, including actress Makoto Phumodi and Nkuleleko Mahlangu, who agreed to marry partners chosen for them by a team of relationship experts.
The reality TV series, which airs on Mzansi Magic every Sunday at 6:30 PM and is available for streaming on Showmax, is serving drama as the couples figure out married life in real time. One of the show's co-stars, Makoto Phumodi, shared her journey on the show so far and why she signed up for the show despite Season 1 favourites Dee and Khutso's marriage ending in divorce.

Despite the two having seen each other before, they got into a fight on their wedding night. Makoto, who starred in the e.tv drama Nikiwe, shared that she and Nkuleleko disagreed about religion, but emphasised that they have since moved past the issue. She explained:
“The Bible says that a man must provide and a woman must submit, right? Imagine being asked if you’re willing to submit, but you don’t even know if the guy is willing to provide emotionally, financially, mentally, or physically, so I was taken aback by that. But as you have seen, we moved past that.”
Makoto Phumodi shares secrets about her husband
Following in the footsteps of another reality TV star, Phumodi got candid about what her husband didn’t do when they first met, but has now learned thanks to a discussion they had about sex.
“Intimacy is important to me. If we can't connect emotionally, it won’t work. My husband didn’t believe in foreplay or kissing when we first met, so those are the things we had to learn about each other and overcome,” Phumodi said.

Briefly News spoke to relationship expert Paula Quinsee, who shared the effects of publicly discussing relationship issues before communicating with one's partner.
She said publicly disclosing relationship issues that weren't communicated with one's partner can lead to feelings of betrayal and ultimately damage the relationship.
"Long-term, it can damage the foundation of intimacy and safety in the relationship, so the best approach is rather one of transparency and honesty in a respectful, compassionate and nurturing manner," she explained.
