Recently I came across an intriguing article in the Huffington Post about a group of Harvard researchers who undertook a longitudinal study to answer the questions, \\u201c\\u035eWhat are the secrets to a happy and purposeful life?\\u201d and \\u201cHow do we grow and change, what do we value as time goes on, and what is likely to make us happy and fulfilled?\\u201d

What do you think the researchers said was their most important finding?

It was that love and relationships are really all that matters.

A person could have a successful career, money and good health, but without supportive, loving relationships, they wouldn\\u2019t be happy.

If it\\u2019s true that relationships are all that really matter in life, then how do we create ones that are healthy and life giving? And for the sake of our conversation, how can the Enneagram help support our us?

To explore these questions, I asked my longtime friends Shauna and Aaron Niequist to join me on today\\u2019s show to talk about how they\\u2019ve used the Enneagram to support and nurture their relationship.

For those of you who don\\u2019t know them, Shauna is the New York Times bestselling author of the book \\u201c\\u035ePresent Over Perfect,\\u201d and Aaron is a worship leader and the author of a new book to be released next August. \\xa0As you\\u2019ll soon discover these two people are veteran Enneagram students and incredibly funny to boot!

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the conversation.
