What your marriage needs is joy!

In this episode of the 'Turn It Up Marriage Tips and Tools Show,' Coach Kelly Dupee, a pastor, police chaplain, professional marriage coach, and author, explores the essence of joy in Christian marriages and differentiates it from happiness.

Highlighting joy as a fruit of the Holy Spirit, Coach Kelly emphasizes that true joy is enduring and comes from within, anchored in God's love.

Through a practical JOY acronym - Jesus, Others, and You - he provides actionable advice on how to cultivate joy in marriage by growing closer to Jesus, serving and appreciating your spouse, resolving conflicts with grace, creating joyful experiences together, and acknowledging one's own needs politely.

He also adds that joy in marriage not only strengthens the union but also serves as a witness of God's love to others. The episode ends with encouragement to seek the complete joy of the Holy Spirit for a fulfilling and resilient marriage.
