Gratitude looks different for every personality — and when you understand how your spouse receives, processes, and expresses gratitude, your marriage transforms. In this Enneagram-focused episode of Imperfectly Married, Michael and Heather break down how all nine Enneagram types relate to gratitude, why some types struggle to accept appreciation, and how to communicate gratitude in a way your spouse actually feels.From the principled Type 1 who battles their inner critic to the nurturing Type 2 who wants to feel loved beyond what they do, to the independent Type 5 who feels exposed by praise, each type filters gratitude through a completely different emotional lens. Understanding that lens can soften tension, deepen intimacy, and strengthen the bond between you.Whether you’re new to the Enneagram or already obsessed, this episode will help you identify your type, your spouse’s type, and the gratitude rhythms that draw you closer together.In this episode you’ll learn how each Enneagram type receives gratitude and why some resist it, what gratitude actually means to your spouse’s type, the biggest gratitude blind spot for each number, how each type expresses appreciation toward others, how gratitude becomes a marriage-strengthening language across all nine types, and one simple gratitude challenge you can do this week to reconnect.Gratitude doesn’t eliminate conflict, but it strengthens the bond you need to work through it — and the Enneagram gives you the roadmap to speak gratitude in a way that heals and unites.
