Sexual intimacy can be experienced as a pleasant pastime, a physical need, a reward, a threat, a bargaining chip, a source of frustration, a well of shame-even a necessary evil. Far less understood is its potential to be something much more: a source of deep joy, spiritual transcendence, and communion with another soul.
In a society drawn to quick fixes and surface-level advice, That We Might Have Joy offers something deeper-an honest look at how sexual intimacy acts as both diagnosis and cure for what ails modern marriage.
With clarity and compassion, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife reframes sexuality not as a threat to faith, but as an expression of it. She shows us how sexual intimacy can reveal the truth of a relationship-and, for those willing to confront that truth, it can become the starting point of something far more soul-sustaining.
That We Might Have Joy is a call to greater integrity-within our marriages, our faith, and ourselves. It invites us to live more honestly, love more deeply, and discover what becomes possible when we heal the division between our spiritual and sexual selves.
