How Christian couples can understand their personality types-and build a more powerful bond of love. He doesn't listen to me . . . I don't understand her . . . Why do we keep having the same fight? If you've ever felt baffled by the person you married, join Enneagram Coach Beth McCord and her husband, Pastor Jeff McCord, as they pull back the curtain to reveal why you and your spouse behave in different ways. Applying the Enneagram through the lens of the gospel, they provide practical steps, insights, and tools to better understand yourself and each other. This book will help you: Answer the question, "Why do they do that?" Stop committing "assumicide" about each other's motives and dramatically improve your communication. Relate to your spouse in ways they actually understand. Awaken a tired marriage that feels like it's on cruise control. Defuse conflict before it starts, especially the same old "dance." Enjoy your spouse again, even if you've loved each other for years! Whether you're preparing for marriage or celebrating a fiftieth anniversary, Becoming Us will revolutionize the way you understand yourself and your spouse, and transform your marriage into the powerful, loving, and satisfying relationship that God intended.

Unlike the other books on the Enneagram that I have read, the McCords explained “childhood wounds” and core desires/fears as they related to perceived childhood wounds in a clear, understandable manner. This is hugely helpful to me in understanding my own motivations and also in helping me to provide grace to my husband when I do not immediately understand his motivations and actions.
My copy of this book has become marked up, dog-eared, and full of post-its. I find myself often referring to tagged pages to remind me of what I’ve learned and to help me navigate and understand my relationships. The second part of the book, the synopsis of each type, including how to understand yourself and how to navigate relationships of others with a particular type is the best quick reference to Enneagram types I’ve found. I especially love how it helps you to understand how to build others up, encourage them, and make them feel loved.
I’m really thankful that this book is printed on high quality, heavy paper because I’m not sure it would hold up to all my use if it wasn’t. I trust you will be just as thankful after you read it! ( )
