Whether it's a friendship like therapy or a professional helper, research tells us that whatever your Enneagram type, your relationship thrives with healthy encouragement from others.

She also warns of the friendships you may need to shift away from as she shares critical life lessons in love and friendship! https://research.msu.edu/are-friends-better-for-us-than-family/) https://www.adultdevelopmentstudy.org/grantandglueckstudy https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0190740910003178 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0044118X15604849 Head on over to enneagramandmarriage.com to check out all of our amazing freebies and resources!

The findings of marriage studies tell us there are predictors for extramarital affairs but that the seasons of marriage, maturity levels, and ages, may have even more to do with this factor than which types are together. Join Christa in examining the eight reasons couples give for cheating as well as how to set boundaries and prevent a third party from complicating your marriage further! https://umdrightnow.umd.edu/news/why-do-people-cheat-umd-research-identifies-8-motivating-factors https://www.dana.org/article/brains-do-it-lust-attraction-and-attachment/ https://www.reddit.com/r/survivinginfidelity/comments/4rii7l/gottmans_cheaters_cascade/   https://www.gottman.com/blog/askgottman-affairs-answers/   Head on over to enneagramandmarriage.com to check out all of our amazing freebies and resources!
