Use the Enneagram and the Gospel to Transform Your Marriage
Becoming Us is a self-paced, online curriculum tailored for your Enneagram Type combination. It’s designed to help you and your partner align your marriage with the hope and truth of the Gospel, so you can have the thriving relationship you long for.
No matter your Enneagram Types, there is a Becoming Us course built specifically for your relationship.
We created a personalized curriculum for all 45 Type combinations. That’s because the dynamics between a Type 1 and Type 3 can look very different than those of a Type 6 and Type 8, or a Type 2 and Type 4. Each Type has specific Core Motivations driving the way they relate in marriage, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to relationship growth.
With your Type-Specific Course you'll...
Gain deeper understanding of
yourselves and one another.
You’ll discover your unique personality Types and the Core Motivations driving each of your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Master healthy communication dynamics.
Uncover each of your communication styles and tendencies when you’re doing well and when you’re struggling. You’ll learn to improve the way you communicate with your partner, so you each feel heard and understood.
Foster a culture of compassion
in your home.
Learn how to exercise more balance, self-control, and grace in your daily interactions. Turn hot-button arguments into balanced and productive conversations.
Get conflict resolution strategies customized to your personalities.
Understanding how your significant other ticks is a game-changer when it comes to reconciling marriage issues, from the tiniest of everyday aggravations to the deepest of relationship wounds.
Experience transformative growth and relational breakthroughs.
You’ll overcome the negative patterns and misunderstanding landmines that have hindered your relationship for years.
Rekindle relational intimacy and satisfaction.
Strengthen and restore your relationship as you deepen mutual respect and connection. Both your hearts will come alive as you learn to affirm, support, and point one another back to Christ.
Hi, We’re Beth & Jeff McCord
We created a marriage course with all the Enneagram and Gospel insights we wish we had in our early years. Here’s our story.
We got married at the ripe age of 20. Full of optimism and dreams for the future, we were totally sure we’d easily have a happy and fulfilling marriage. It makes us laugh and cringe to think about all that we had to learn over the next 24 years. It didn’t take long for problems to arise in our relationship. We just couldn’t fathom how we could be dealing with so much turbulence when our dating life was so rich and fun.
There’s always friction when you put two personalities with different perspectives, backgrounds, and interests together, and we quickly felt disappointed and resentful. We didn’t understand ourselves, one another, and the fullness we already had in Christ, so we spent the next few years hitting the same relational walls over and over again. By our fourth year of marriage, we were completely frustrated, ashamed, and desperate.
The Gospel and the Enneagram changed everything.
We learned to recognize the ways we would each think, speak, and act when we were out of alignment with the Gospel. We discovered that much of the time, the root of our marriage issues stemmed from not truly understanding one another’s hearts, and insisting that our point of view be seen as right. We believe that if we’d had the tool of the Enneagram from a Gospel perspective earlier, it would have helped us to avoid so much pain and misunderstanding.
Imagine how your relationship would change if you really trusted the amazing news of the Gospel, believing that Christ is restoring you and your significant other. God has an amazing plan for your relationship, and He put you with your spouse - along with all your thought patterns and quirks - to accomplish His purposes. Challenges are inevitable, but when you learn to navigate them in a healthy way, you’ll experience transformational grace and abundant life.
No matter your season or personality combination, our heart is to show you how to grow into the individuals and couple you were created to be. And we do that while intentionally focusing on the intricacies of your Type combo.
