Monday, August 3, 2020 - Salt Lake City, UT

An affair can happen to anyone, even people who have good marriages. Marriage and family therapist, Laura M. Brotherson shared with 
KSL Television's "Studio 5" audience what couples need to do to keep their marriage strong and immune to infidelity. Learn how Laura's "Infidelity Formula" can keep you off the slippery slope to disaster! Avoid the wrenching heartache that comes from not protecting your marriage from infidelity.

Podcast: "Live from Love" Podcast, Episode #119
Guest: Laura M. Brotherson, LMFT, CST

This podcast episode comes from a super fun conversation certified sex therapist, Laura M. Brotherson had with the awesome Amanda Louder of the "Live from Love" podcast.

Laura shared her concept of "Auditory Arousal" and answered questions about everything you need to know about it to heat up your lovemaking. Most importantly, they discussed the benefits of verbal communication during sex. Learn how this can keep your busy and distracted brain engaged and experience greater ecstasy during sex.


Many couples struggle with understanding the vital importance of agency in their marriages and how it affects one's ability to change. This keeps couples stuck in unhealthy patterns at best often causing significant damage to their relationships. Couples stay stuck in "duty sex" instead of being able to move into "I want you sex." 

This powerful resource - "Agency, Change & Sex" provides insights regarding agency, change, entitlement, "neediness," and the sexual relationship that can help you transform your marriage into a "sextraordinary" marriage!


We are so excited to share this new book Meditations for Marital Intimacy. It a compilation of scriptural and prophetic inspiration accompanied by discussion questions for married members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who wish to better understand the blessings of marriage, deepen their intimacy, and enrich their sexual relationship. 

Laura has referred to it as the Sunday Come, Follow Me study about sex! ;) Check out Laura's review of Meditations for Marital Intimacy:

"A resource like this to help couples have better and more open discussions about their intimate relationship is enthusiastically welcomed and so needed. Especially in bringing the power of gospel principles into the intimate sexual relationship, these meditations will help husbands and wives better understand divine sexuality and advance concepts and questions they didn't even know to talk about in the first place."
