## Resource

You’re not fighting about what you think you’re fighting about. We’re continuing our month-long Enneagram series with Ian Morgan Cron, and this one hits close to home. When it comes to Enneagram types, there are no bad pairings, but there are patterns that quietly wear relationships down. What if the tension in your marriage isn’t personal? What if it’s predictable? Using the Enneagram as a parenting tool can help…or hurt. When do you introduce it? How do you use it without labeling your kids too early? We’re going there today because the Enneagram isn’t about putting people in boxes. It’s about seeing what’s actually driving them. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.
