    Sex for Saints
    Sex for Saints

    As a Certified Sex & Marriage Coach, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Amanda Louder helps conservative Christian women love their sex life!

    In this podcast, Amanda helps women embrace their sexuality so that they can become the woman they were created to be. She teaches you how to integrate sexuality into your marriage in a loving and healthy way, get rid of the drama and negative emotions around sex in your marriage, and develop a better relationship to yourself, your spouse, and your sexuality.

    Episode 408 – The Six Stages of Marriage (And Why Many Quit at Stage 3)

    In this episode of Sex for Saints, I walk through the six stages of marriage and explain why so many couples feel stuck, disconnected, or ready to give up around stage three. I break down what each stage looks like in real life, from the honeymoon phase to frustration, growth, true love, and legacy, using real client stories to show what’s actually happening beneath the conflict. We talk about why stage three feels like failure, how emotional triggers and unmet needs collide there, and why this stage is not a sign you married the wrong person but an invitation to learn new relationship skills. I also explain how emotional regulation, boundary setting, and clean communication move couples into deeper intimacy, passion, and long-term connection. If your marriage feels hard right now, this episode will help you understand where you are and what it takes to move forward together instead of drifting apart.
