The Enneagram is often thought of as a personal journey but I loved Jeff & Beth McCord's book on using this tool specifically for your marriage. I've followed their teaching for quite some time and even became an Enneagram coach through their training program. Even though I'm trained in teaching the Enneagram, Jeff & Beth packed new and life-changing insights into this book – a must-read for married couples at any age or stage!!
The Gospel + Ennegram = growth and depth

As a student of the Ennegram, I've seen incredible growth in my life as I've done the hard work of getting to the root of wrong motivations and behaviors. As a byproduct, I've seen my relationships improve, so that's why I was excited that a book that blends marriage and the Enneagram is finally here!
The first part of the book is mostly story, the second contains general Gospel-centered marriage advice, and the third is what makes the whole book worth it! This section gives you a practical deep dive into each type in a way I've never seen it presented (and I've read many Enneagram books)! I felt so much more equipped to better relate to my spouse and others in my life and even gained new treasures to apply to myself.
Great Enneagram Resource

What a treat! I was so fortunate to receive an Advanced Reader Copy of Becoming Us and have been delighted with their stories and all the information packed in the pages of this book. If you are new to the Enneagram and are looking for a Faith based approach, it is a great book to start with! It is directed to couples, but I believe every kind of relationship can benefit from this book.
If you are new to the Enneagram, this would be a great book to start with. They do a great job of explaining things without leaving you feeling overwhelmed. The layout of the book is great as well since you can flip to section 2 and read specific things about specific types when you want to easily access a piece of information. If you are continuing your journey with the Enneagram, I still highly recommend this book for you and your significant other as it is very relatable and again the layout is super helpful!

I’ve seen/heard all the memes, Insta-accounts, podcasts, articles, and courses related to the Enneagram. I finally read one book about the Enneagram this year. I did take a free online test but uncertain of its accuracy. Like other similar assessments, I don’t think it will tell me anything new about myself that I didn’t already know but I think it helps me be mindful of my natural tendencies and how I will act and react in certain circumstances. I'm so glad there is now a resource that will help couples to strengthen their relationships using this information that gives a glimpse into what those natural tendencies are.
The enneagram is a tool, the Gospel is the transformation.

Becoming Us has been such an eye-opener for me and my husband. I had just started looking into the enneagram as just another personality test, but the way that the McCords point you to the Gospel for understanding and growth is truly unique and very beneficial. Instead of feeling like I couldn't help the way my personality was, I am learning how to grow to the best version of who I am using the Gospel as my transformation and the enneagram as a tool to understanding.
I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know how to understand their personality better and how to transform their personality with the guidance of the Gospel. Then, you can use that to also understand your spouse better and encourage them as they grow also.
The reference section in the second half of the book is a great resource for continual reference as I learn more about other relationships in my life as well.
