In this Enneagram Edition of Imperfectly Married, Michael and Heather explore how each personality type uniquely experiences physical, emotional, and spiritual health, especially under stress.This conversation breaks down how different Enneagram types drift when one area of health is neglected, why some types ignore their bodies, others suppress emotions, and others disconnect spiritually — and how those patterns quietly affect marriage over time. Rather than focusing on behavior fixes, this episode centers on awareness, compassion, and understanding the deeper motivations driving each type.If you’ve ever felt out of sync physically, emotionally drained, or spiritually disconnected in your marriage, this episode offers clarity, grace, and a path forward — tailored to who you actually are.Join the Imperfectly Married Newsletter below to get your free download of our 2026 new year reflection worksheet:https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/Find us online:Website: https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/Merch: https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/storeInstagram: imperfectlymarried_thepodcast Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576918626044TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@imperfectly_married

When couples think about health, they usually think about diet, exercise, or weight goals. But health is far more than just physical. In this episode of Imperfectly Married, Michael and Heather unpack the three pillars of health that every marriage should work on: physical, emotional, and spiritual. They explore how neglecting even one of these areas creates disconnection, resentment, fatigue, and emotional distance. As well as how small, intentional steps toward wholeness can radically change the way you love, communicate, and connect.Whether you’re feeling physically exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, spiritually dry, or simply unsure where to start, this conversation offers practical wisdom, grace-filled encouragement, and a clear reminder: a healthy marriage begins with healthy people choosing wholeness together.Join the Imperfectly Married Newsletter below to get your free download of our 2026 new year reflection worksheet:https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/Find us online:Website: https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/Merch: https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/storeInstagram: imperfectlymarried_thepodcast Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576918626044TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@imperfectly_married

The New Year brings motivation, pressure, excitement, anxiety, and reflection — and every Enneagram type experiences it differently. In this Enneagram Edition of Imperfectly Married, Michael and Heather walk through all nine Enneagram types and explain how each one approaches the New Year, where they tend to get stuck, and how their core motivations are intensified during this season.You’ll learn why some types feel energized by goals while others feel overwhelmed or behind, why resolutions work for some and backfire for others, and how trying to change behavior without understanding motivation often leads to frustration. This episode is not about fixing yourself or your spouse — it’s about awareness, compassion, and learning how to support each other well as you step into a new year together.Michael and Heather break down practical ways spouses can encourage one another based on personality wiring, offering language that affirms identity rather than performance, creates emotional safety, and strengthens connection. From the Type One’s inner critic, to the Type Two’s tendency to over-give, to the Type Three’s drive to achieve, to the Type Nine’s quiet tendency to disappear, this conversation helps couples see each other more clearly and love each other more intentionally.Rooted in faith and real-life experience, this episode reminds couples that growth is not about reinvention — it’s about alignment. When you understand how your spouse enters the year, you can move forward together with grace, patience, and unity instead of pressure and comparison.Join the Imperfectly Married Newsletter below to get your free download of our 2026 new year reflection worksheet:https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/Find us online:Website: https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/Merch: https://imperfectlymarriedpodcast.com/storeInstagram: imperfectlymarried_thepodcast Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576918626044TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@imperfectly_married
