Description
What if the path to deeper spirituality isn't through resisting your sexuality-but through more fully embracing it?
For many Latter-day Saints, sexual intimacy is experienced as a pleasant pastime, a bargaining chip, a well of shame, a source of frustration-or 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 culture drawn to quick fixes and surface-level advice, That We Might Have Joy offers something deeper-an honest, in-depth look at how sexual intimacy acts as both diagnosis and cure for what ails modern marriage, and a meaningful invitation to create something richer and more connected.
With clarity and compassion, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife reframes sexuality not as a threat to faith, but as a vital pathway to it. She shows how sexual intimacy can reveal the truth of a relationship-and how, for those willing to confront that truth, it can become the starting point for 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.
