A dreamy marriage book!
I love romance and my favorite thing is when a book can help me to capture this again in my relationship of over a decade. I'm so glad I picked this book up because it's helping me to see the love we share in the most gorgeous hues. it's also helping me to find a path out of our shadows together, which we sometimes hit in our parenting of littles and this busy moment in life.

Helping couples grow and glow together!
Whether you have never heard of the enneagram or are a longtime student, this humble, hopeful, practical, informative book invites couples to recognize their unique light and shadows as individuals and as a couple, to grow in these areas together, and to shine brightly together in ways that radiate healing and flourishing on an individual level, couple level, familial level, community level and out into the world. With research, clarity and accessibility, Christa effectively describes the enneagram system and how it can help individuals and couples better understand themselves and their relational dynamics with compassion that leads to empathy and growth. With integrity and vulnerability, Christa leads by example, showing the reader ways that light and shadow have played out in her own life and relationship through the beauty and challenges of her own unique enneagram type and pairing in marriage. She implicitly and explicitly offers hope that there is beauty and a growth path for ALL types and pairings. Author Resmaa Menakem, describes committed romantic relationships as an invitation to grow up together. Christa’s book lays out a helpful roadmap and practical tools to do just that with intentionality. As a person, as a partner, and as a couple’s therapist, I’m so grateful for this new growth tool.

Practical Marriage and Relationship Companion Using the Enneagram
Christa provides an illustrative understanding of how the Enneagram plays out in real life with real people. It is presented as a collection of vivid stories but as useful (or perhaps more so) than any Enneagram primer I've come across, combining so much wisdom of couples counseling with the Enneagram. Reading this book, I felt love emanating from the pages, an openness and understanding towards one another, and proactive love instead of reactive and defensive. There was emphasis on loving one another and less focus on self. Practicality, captivating storytelling, and wisdom from years of lived experience as a couple’s counselor culminated into an incredibly helpful work of art in the Enneagram community. For having virtually no marriage therapy experience and communication issues of my own, by the end of the book I truly felt like I had enough information to attempt working through a hurt with my spouse and the tools to help support them when navigating life's low times by using the models and structures for moving through the work and calls to actions in each chapter to get the conversation going. The book also helped me to assign words to feelings so I could in turn help my spouse understand me better also. Christa's heart for God also flowed through the pages and touched my soul. The book discusses hurts and wounds but also beautifully weaves in hope in the form of God's promises to us and ways he is there to give support to us also. She uses the Enneagram to allow for deeper understanding and cultivation of empathy for one another, as an aid to help the spouse feel understood and heard, a safe ground to open up to intimate dialogue with each other. This book helped me to fall more in love with my spouse by pointing out their gifts and humanizing both of us, offering grace and love from God so we can in turn offer that to each other and ourselves, fully showing up to life. Chapter 8 was incredibly special to me and so lovingly written. It was encouraging but realistic, reminding us of the big picture of marriage and of life. Life is indeed both hard AND beautiful, long, AND short, bitter, AND sweet. Something to be cherished most definitely.
