What if your marriage arguments aren’t actually about the dishwasher, money, parenting… or even sex?

In this episode of Imperfectly Married, Michael and Heather unpack how the Enneagram reveals the deeper fears driving conflict in marriage. Because underneath every argument is often something more vulnerable: fear of rejection, failure, losing control, being unseen, abandoned, or misunderstood. Through each of the nine Enneagram types, they explore how personality shapes the way we react in conflict — whether that looks like shutting down, pursuing harder, getting defensive, avoiding hard conversations, or trying to “win” the fight altogether.
