Marcus Lamb's marriage to Joni was not without difficulty.

Two years after Marcus Lamb died, Joni Lamb married again. "She remarried in 2023 to Dr. Doug Weiss," according to CBN.
He appeared on Joni's show, Joni Table Talk on Daystar. Dr. Doug Weiss "reveals the hidden weight that keeps people stuck, the kind of pain that lingers in your body, clouds your spirit, and even hinders you from walking in your destiny," reads the caption on one appearance.
Joni wrote about the new marriage in a post on New Charisma, acknowledging that it caused some controversy. "There was no real desire in me for a relationship. I want to make that crystal clear. I wasn't looking and had no need to do so," she wrote. "So many people have judged my timeline from Marcus' death to my marriage to Doug. They question how I could have grieved enough in seven months to even think about talking to someone else. They think that's not enough time."
She added: "All I can say is that each person processes grief differently. For me, this was the timeline I was on...When Doug came into my life, it felt like a refreshing rain saturating the drought in my soul and bringing a sense of newness. Yet his arrival definitely shook things up. Along with the excitement there was some turbulence and downed limbs, so to speak, that had to be taken care of. But it was so worth it because of the refreshing new life. And I always knew no one would be happier for me than my late husband, whom I adored. It's like Doug was the something I didn't even know I needed or was missing."
Weiss is "is a psychologist and host known for his work with sexual addiction."
In April, Joni wrote on Instagram, "Celebrating my wonderful husband @drdougweiss today! I am so grateful for his wisdom, strength, and heart for the Lord. Help me wish him a very happy birthday!"
