Parenting will test the limits of our patience and resilience. When our kids are stressed, reactive, or shut down, it’s easy to get pulled into the same patterns—and it can be difficult to regain your footing.

In this recent Q&A discussion, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joined her colleagues Kristin Areglado Hurley, LCPC, CST and Aron Carlson, LCSW-C, LICSW to talk about how parental resilience can be developed by quieting our own minds, calming our hearts, and learning to respond with clarity instead of reactivity.

Conflict, heartbreaks, and disillusionments can shake our faith in marriage.

But our struggles are not signs of failure, they are part of the soul work we are here for.

Marriage can refine our souls, but it requires our willingness to rise above our self-justifications—it requires our FAITH.

This is not just challenging work, it is sacred work.

That We Might Have Joy is a call to greater integrity—within our marriages, our faith, and ourselves. In its pages, Dr. Jennifer invites us to discover what becomes possible when we heal the division between our spiritual and s*xual selves.

I think this is one of the most beautiful, ordinary stories I have ever seen. "The Unseen Beauty of Everyday Love" captures it perfectly. This honest couple speaks to so much of what it is to love, what it means to share a life with someone so different than you, and as I speak about in Chapter 9, the extraordinariness of the ordinary in life. I hope you'll take the time to watch this. Learning to love is worth it.

During this webinar, Dr. Finlayson-Fife will discuss how the conflicts we face in marriage can pressure our personal and spiritual growth. She will explore how marriage invites honest self-awareness and how that can increase our capacity to love. She will teach why revealing differences—rather than avoiding them—is essential to both personal development and deeper connection.

As much as we may want a world where things are black and white—where there are good people and bad people—humanity is much more complex than that.

The reality is that we are all a mix of sinner and saint. We are all just as capable of evil and hate as we are of love and goodness.

Honestly facing ourselves and acknowledging our own limitations and fallibility will allow us to come to deeper self-awareness and a greater capacity to love and be loved by others.

This powerful episode is Dr. Finlayson-Fife’s presentation during a gospel study session hosted by Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. The discussion focuses on the important lessons we can learn from the fall of David, including a deeper understanding of both the complexities of humanity and the important role self-honesty plays in the process of spiritual development.
