The 45 Combinations of Enneagram-type Relationships |  How Each P airing Can Disintegrate or Thrive!

Over the years, I've been asked the same questions hundreds of times: "Which Enneagram type gets along best with my Enneagram type?"  What Enneagram type should I marry?

In response, I decided to develop a matrix of all 45 possible combinations of type relationships to assist in answering these questions, and we're going to launch this work on my website this year.  

Within the matrix, I explore the relationship dynamics of each Enneagram type with every other type.  Our level of personality development actually plays the EVERYTHING ROLE in how we actually get along with others and with ourselves, but that said, I've placed an emphasis on the circle of conflict that naturally occurs between each possible pairing of types and how this circle can lead to distress and disruption in a given relationship. 

I also present how each type can support each other to create a relationship that flourishes rather than flounders, which includes:

(1) what we each need to acknowledge or own about ourselves;

(2) what we need to appreciate about the other, and;

(3) the key awarenesses and tasks for building and sustaining the relationship. 

When these three key points are practiced and adopted, it virtually guarantees that the relationship has the potential to thrive. This is the fundamental reason I decided to tackle this topic. Relationships are such a fundamental aspect of our joy, happiness, and physical well being, struggling unnecessarily with others is one of the first things we should all work hard to remedy. It's far too important.
