Faith Matters
30 September 2025

Religious aspects of sexuality, gender & relationships; Sex & sexuality, sex manuals; Mind, Body, Spirit: thought & practice

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.

Reviews for That We Might Have Joy: Desire, Divinity & Intimate Love

This book is a call to repent-to tell the truth, to look eros in the eye, to be the bodies that we are, to promise our souls, to break open our hearts, to brave intimacy. It's a call to live, to love, to die, to love. Don't wait. Repent. Live. Love. -Adam S. Miller, author of Original Grace and Letters to a Young Mormon That We Might Have Joy is a great gift-certainly to those of us who are in a love relationship, but to all who yearn to give equal honoring to both the sacred and the sensual in our lives and to realize they are partners indeed. Jennifer's insightful book shines new light on the truth that God is love and love is godly. -Carol Lynn Pearson, Author of The Love Map This is more than a book-it's an invitation to a conversation in which you will see yourself and your relationships with greater clarity. The process of honest self-examination is rarely comfortable but is often empowering. Dr. Finlayson-Fife offers a path in which the erotic and the spiritual are integrated in ways consistent with-and enriched by-marital and religious commitments. Readers of many faiths will find growth-promoting wisdom, helping them pursue their own vision of sexual and spiritual health. -Adam R. Fisher, PhD, ABPP
