Deploy Your Inner Strength
A Guide for Military Spouses: Using the Enneagram for Personal Development During Deployment
Deployments suck — but they don’t have to.
In the military lifestyle, we’re often faced with the loss of things: things we love and are used to due to a PCS, friends who move, jobs that change, careers that vanish, routines, certainty and so much more. Notably, loss of identity is often cited by military spouses as a primary reason for dissatisfaction with military life.
Most of these losses are things we can’t control, but our sense of self is something that we can control and strengthen no matter what the military has in store for us. So, as you experience a deployment and separation from your partner, why not focus on some personal development work?
This page and resources offer an introduction to how to use the Enneagram as a framework to work on yourself, strengthen your relationship with your partner, and find and foster community while they’re away.

Part 2: Strengthen Relationships
The better you know yourself, and the more open and honest you are about yourself, the more vulnerable you can be in relationship with other people.
This applies as well to our intimate relationships — especially with our serving spouse. Let’s take a look at what using insights from the Enneagram can do to help enhance our relationships.

This awareness not only enhances communication within groups but also nurtures empathy and appreciation for diversity.
