Couples Insights from Ian w/Jon and Tristen Collins [S05-044]

 


Expressing our emotions is vulnerable, and vulnerability is the secret sauce of relationships. So how do an Enneagram Two and an Enneagram 5, who approach emotions from very different angles, maintain a strong marriage? In today’s episode, I revisit my conversation with Jon and Tristen Collins, authors of Why Emotions Matter, to explore what they’ve learned about each other and how they meet in the middle to build a more intimate relationship.

Jon is a writer and creative director for The Bible Project. He has a BA in Biblical Studies from Multnomah University. Jon is affectionately known by the team as the Architect of Ideas. He is a master of making complex ideas simple and has spent the last decade founding and leading digital media and marketing companies.  Jonathan Collins | @jonpdx
