The Enneagram and couples

Let’s make this clear from the start: amongst couples, all combinations of Enneagram Types can exist and function. So there is no question of saying who is suited to whom!

On the other hand, exchanges with a life partner based on the Enneagram model can be very enlightening and make it easier to communicate about many aspects of daily life. Understanding the deep drives of the other person and accepting the spells of anger, fear or deceit they provoke in us helps to alleviate these feelings and to construct a relationship on solid foundations. Gradual integration by each partner of everything he or she is (his/her thinking, feeling and instinctual resources) enables couples to find themselves together again on a different playing field, without fearing the other person’s difference from oneself: such differences increasingly become a source of richness and complementarity.

We do not organise specific sessions for couples, but couples frequently attend Enneagram training sessions together (sometimes one after the other if they prefer).
