The actor, 32,married fitness guru Liv Loin 2016, five years after they met at a party on New Year’s Day.
“There’s always a little bit of magic when you first meet a person, but it doesn’t occur to you,” Golding tells PEOPLE in this week’s inaugural Kindness Issue. “It’s not like, ‘Oh my God, that’s a person I’m going to marry.’ There’s like, ‘Wow, there’s something about them,’ but it’s when you get to know somebody, when you build a relationship, that you become a team. That’s when you start realizing, this is the love of my life.”

“It really has,” he says. “It’s a lot of time away, which isn’t the greatest thing, but I manage to bring my wife to as much as possible and we have an amazing time. Life has changed for the better for sure.”

Part of the time when Lo, 34, isn’t traveling with Golding, she’s working out as the founderFitsphere, an online studio that offers yoga classes with High-Intensity Interval Training or weights.
“I think she wishes that I’ve worked out with her more,” the actor says. “And I wish that I worked out more with her because she’s an amazing yogi. And now that I’m filmingSnake Eyesin Vancouver, I wish I was a lot more flexible than I am and that my muscles didn’t rip when I do stunts. So I think I will pay more attention to her nagging me about getting in shape.”
