Marriage & Motherhood - How To Reconnect With Your Spouse After Kids

Marriage & Motherhood - How To Reconnect With Your Spouse After Kids

Michelle Purta Relationships 306 episodi USA 2026-06-25 1 estrazioni
Motherhood changes everything, including your marriage.

If you’re a mom who feels stuck having the same arguments on repeat, disconnected from your partner, or like you’ve slipped into roommate mode filled with resentment and tension, you’re not alone and your relationship isn’t broken.

Welcome to The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast.

I’m Michelle Purta, mom of 3, marriage coach, and I help couples understand and shift the communication patterns that keep them stuck so they can rebuild connection, strengthen their partnership, and feel like an "us" again.

Each week, you’ll learn how to navigate marriage and motherhood with better communication, emotional awareness, and practical conflict resolution tools that actually work in real life.

We go beyond surface-level advice and focus on what’s really driving the disconnection like reactive cycles, emotional shutdown, miscommunication, and unresolved resentment.

This podcast is for couples who want to:

- break the cycle of repeating arguments
- communicate clearly without shutdowns or blowups
- resolve conflict in a way that builds connection instead of resentment
- move out of roommate mode and back into a connected partnership

You’ll learn the skills to shift your patterns, improve communication, and create a more connected, supportive marriage while you're knee deep in parenthood.

Because a strong relationship isn’t about avoiding conflict. It’s about knowing how to move through it together.

If you’re ready to stop having the same fight and start feeling like a team again, you’re in the right place.
