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.

Hard conversations don’t fall apart because of what’s said, but often because of how they start. In this episode, I will show you why “ambush conversations” trigger defensiveness and disconnection, even when you’re trying to fix something important. I will walk you through how to create true consent in conversations by giving context, asking for the right timing, and honoring your spouse’s capacity to engage. I will also share what to do if you’re the one being caught off guard or if your partner keeps avoiding the conversation altogether. When you shift the way you start hard conversations, you will begin to create safety, trust, and a way forward together.
