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.

When we get married, most of us imagine a life full of connection and companionship. But when you feel overlooked, unchosen, or disappointed by how your spouse shows up emotionally or s*xually, marriage can start to feel lonely and isolating.

In this hour-long Q&A session, Dr. Finlayson-Fife answers questions from those feeling unchosen, isolated, and disconnected in their most important relationship.

So often in conversations there are two speakers and zero listeners.

If you want to improve your relationship, listen.

Listen for what is true and fair in the other’s perspective.

Listen for where they are right about you.

Listening requires much more than just being quiet. When you’re really listening, you’re seeking to understand—you’re willing to put your version of reality aside long enough to really understand the other person’s perspective.

If you want to improve your relationships, stop just being quiet and start to really listen.

We’re all a mix of sinner and saint—capable of both selfishness and goodness, cruelty and love.

The work of spiritual growth isn’t pretending otherwise. It’s learning to see ourselves truthfully—limitations and all—so we can love with more humility, integrity, and courage.

Don't miss this episode — a beautiful discussion where Dr. Finlayson-Fife shares insights on the fall of King David and what it teaches us about self-deception, spiritual growth, and what it is to be human.
