Publisher's summary

Becoming Us is a wake-up call for couples who feel stagnant, revealing what happens when two people in a committed relationship risk seeing each other from a fresh perspective.

Couples often enter into marriage with a potentially harmful assumption: they assume they “know” themselves and their spouse. The reality is that whether a couple’s been married a few months or many decades, conflict and misunderstandings happen. Beth and Jeff McCord provide a glimpse into how the Enneagram, used from a biblical perspective, brings astonishing clarity to couples so they can break free from self-condemnation, fear and shame, by knowing and experiencing the unconditional love, forgiveness, and freedom they have in Christ. Beth and Jeff guide couples through discovering their Enneagram type and core motivations, as well as those of their spouse, gaining insight into how their family of origin shapes the way they relate to their spouse, and understanding what “assumicide” is and how to put a stop to it. Couples are made for an intimate and thriving marriage relationship. For those baffled by the person sleeping beside them and looking for an instruction manual, Becoming Us serves as a roadmap for couples to transform into the best versions of themselves-together.

decent relational book for enneagram lovers

Lots of Christian cliche used without explanation of the same. A person not exposed the same teaching will not understand.

One of the best books on the Enneagram!

Becoming Us by the McCords is one of the best books on the enneagram I've now read! They balance their story and an explanation of the enneagram well. My favorite things about this book is that it is unashamedly centered around the gospel message and the enneagram is used as a tool to better understand one's self and others through the lens of the gospel message. I would recommend this book to those who are well versed in the enneagram and the newcomer looking to learn more.

Great information!

There is so much great information in this book and so much to reflect and ponder on! I listened and realized I needed to buy the book so I could go back to particular sections, reread and mark it up for further study.

Good book but didn’t care for the Audible version

I have been learning about the Enneagram and love Beth McCord!! I listen to a lot audible books, but did not care for this one due to the Narrators. Their voices sound robotic, so I found myself zoning out a lot. I prefer audible books where the Author is the narrator. Other than that I would recommend... just not the audible version.

Too much!

The content is too much for an audible. There is not enough inflection to make you want to listen.
