    The Gift Your Marriage Never Knew It Needed: A Full You

    As we have named what our spouses cannot carry for us, now we turn the corner to the best gift your marriage never knew it needed, and it is not a date night or a new technique, it is a full you. If your spouse cannot give you your worth, your aliveness, or your sense of purpose, then where do these things actually come from? Christa explores the needs that do not disappear when we stop asking our spouse to be our everything, and the things only we can tend for ourselves with the SPARKS analogy she uses, to help you find your way back to your own joy, your own worth, your own inner growth, and your own relationship with God, where we are fully seen even when the people around us are depleted. Far from being one more burden, she shows why this is a gift: when you come to your marriage full rather than empty, you free your spouse from a job they were always going to fail at, and you free yourself from the ache of waiting. With practical ways to begin tending your own soul this week, this is a freeing turn toward wholeness! ⁠Watch on YouTube! We also share about the Enneagram and Marriage coaching certification, starting 9/15 where Christa trains others to help couples reclaim what is theirs to tend. ⁠Get inside the Enneagram and Marriage Coaching and Masterclass classroom here⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠ https://www.enneagramandmarriage.com/the-e-m-coaching-masterclass Use the code COACH for $250 off - or - use a payment plan!!

    Subscriber Series: The Liminal Space: Holding Two True Things at Once

    In this more contemplative deep dive, Christa explores the liminal space, the in-between threshold where two true things must be held at once. So much of marriage and life asks this of us: joy and sorrow together, gratitude and longing together, deep love and real disappointment side by side. She unpacks why we rush to collapse that tension, insisting everything is fine and burying the ache, or sinking into the sorrow and losing the good, and why real maturity and intimacy live in the capacity to hold both without abandoning either. You can love your spouse deeply and still grieve something they cannot be for you. You can be grateful for your marriage and still ache within it. Both can be true. And where faith meets that unresolved space, there is freedom in trusting that God holds what we cannot control, and that we are often being formed in the very discomfort we want to escape. Christa also shares about the Enneagram and Marriage coaching certification, where she trains others to walk people through exactly this kind of deep work.

    When Parenting Takes Everything, with Abbey Howe, 3

    When the kids need everything, there is often very little left over for the marriage, and yet if our family is going to make it, fighting for it is your work to do. To this end, Christa welcomes Abbey Howe, theater graduate, beloved Enneagram voice, and the mind behind memes that have made so many of us laugh and feel seen on IG and YouTube, for a real talk about marriage in the thick of the parenting years. Abbey is living this season herself, adjusting to the genuine demands of raising a little one, and she brings both honesty and hope to this convo in her 3-4 pairing. The research is clear that marital satisfaction often dips when children are young, with less time, less sleep, and less connection to go around, and yet the couples who stay intentional come through these years with a bond that grows deeper, not weaker. Together, Christa and Abbey talk about what a spouse can and cannot carry in this season, why a parent has to tend our own self-care rather than wait for the marriage to refill us completely, and how learning to play again, to laugh and lighten up, can bring life back to both a weary parent and a tired marriage. If you are deep in the parenting years or want to remember how to bless someone in this season as you offer wisdom, this one will meet you right where you are! Watch on YouTube, too!

    Subscriber Series: How Every Enneagram Type Fills the Space

    n this deeper dive, Christa walks through how each of the nine Enneagram types tends to drift toward unhealthy gap-filling in marriage, and what healthy gap-filling actually looks like instead, type by type. Because the temptation is never really about the person who ends up filling it, it's about the need underneath that never got spoken out loud. Once you know your type's particular pull, you can catch yourself earlier and choose something better on purpose. Grab your coffee and find your number below. Listen here!

    Grief, Remarriage, and the Love That Lasts, with Clarissa Moll, 6

    ⁠⁠⁠This is a special and tender episode to close our month on what our spouses can and cannot carry for us, because some things, like grief, are simply too heavy for any one person to hold alone. Christa welcomes the award-winning writer and podcaster Clarissa Moll, who produces and moderates Christianity Today's flagship news podcast, The Bulletin, and who has become one of the most trusted voices on grief and hope. In 2019, Clarissa's husband Rob (type 9) died suddenly in a hiking accident at Mt. Rainier, leaving her to raise their four children as a widow, and out of that valley came her best-selling book, Beyond the Darkness: A Gentle Guide for Living with Grief and Thriving After Loss. Now a remarried widow (6-2 pairing) building a joyful blended family, Clarissa shares what it means to move through grief rather than around it, how a new marriage holds the memory of a former love, why no single person can be the whole of our healing, and where hope must take hold again after loss. No matter your loss, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Listen here! Watch on YouTube! Clarissa Moll is an award-winning writer and podcaster who helps bereaved people find flourishing after loss. Her writing (https://www.clarissamoll.com/writing) appears in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, RELEVANT, Modern Loss, Grief Digest and more. She cohosted Christianity Today’s [“Surprised by Grief”](https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/podcasts/surprised-by-grief/) podcast and is a frequent guest(https://www.clarissamoll.com/speaking) at events, on podcasts, and radio shows.

    Your Virtue, Your Vice, and Awakening to Your True Purposes

    So much of what we hand our spouse to fix is really our own inner work in disguise. In this episode, Christa turns to two of the most useful words the Enneagram gives us: your vice and your virtue. Your vice is the emotional pattern that runs the show under stress, the overused survival strategy of your type, and your virtue is the higher quality that naturally emerges as you heal and grow. We'll walk together through all nine types, and show you that the journey from vice to virtue is intentional and costly, but truly worthy too as your purposes become clearer each day. When we instead ask our spouse to soothe all of our aches instead of doing our own work, we exhaust them and stay stuck, but when we own it, we free them and we grow. With honest, practical steps for naming your vice, catching it in the small daily moments, and taking one step toward your virtue, this is a freeing reminder that the most loving thing you can do for your marriage is often to go do your own inner work! Plus a look at the coaching certification where Christa trains others to walk couples through exactly this.

    Subscriber Series: The Center You Lead With (and the One You Avoid)

    As we continue to focus on our work as individuals, building on Beatrice Chestnut's episode, Christa walks through the body center of the Eight, Nine, and One, rooted in instinct, anger, and control, the heart center of the Two, Three, and Four, rooted in image, feeling, and worth, and the head center of the Five, Six, and Seven, rooted in thinking, fear, and security. In this mini-episode, she names the core emotion beneath each, anger, shame, and fear, and the specific inner work each center calls for, whether that is softening your grip on control, letting yourself be known beyond your image, or trusting you are safe enough to act without total certainty. Most importantly, she brings it home to marriage: you lead with one center while your spouse may lead with another, and meeting them in theirs, rather than expecting them to move to yours, changes everything. Do your own center's work, and stop asking your spouse to carry what's yours. Listen here!
