Marriage & Motherhood - How To Reconnect With Your Spouse After Kids
Motherhood changes everything... including your marriage.
If you’re a mom who feels disconnected from your husband, stuck in roommate mode, or exhausted by the constant tension, miscommunication, or emotional distance after kids, this podcast is for you.
Join Marriage Coach Michelle Purta each week to learn how to strengthen your marriage without waiting until the kids are grown. Each episode offers practical communication tools, mindset shifts, and real conversations that help you rebuild emotional connection, navigate conflict without escalation, and feel like true partners again...not just co-parents managing a household.
This show is especially for you if you want to:
• Communicate clearly without shutdowns or blow-ups
• Reduce resentment and mental load in motherhood and marriage
• Reconnect emotionally and rebuild intimacy after kids
• Create a healthier, more connected marriage in the middle of busy family life
Having a strong marriage is all about learning the right skills, not about being perfect.
This podcast is your weekly reminder that you don’t have to choose between being a great mom and having a deeply connected marriage.

Are you and your spouse just navigating a rough patch—or is your marriage calling out for help?
This is one of the most common questions I get from couples, especially after kids enter the picture. When things feel hard, it can be difficult to know whether to wait it out or to take action.
In this episode, I walk you through the signs of a rough patch vs. deeper issues in your marriage. I break down what each looks like, what questions to ask yourself, and how to tell if your marriage would benefit from getting outside support.
What's covered in this episode:
- What qualifies as a “rough patch” in marriage
- Signs your marriage may be struggling
- Key questions to help you figure out where your relationship stands
- What to do if you realize you need help
Whether you’re tired, checked out, or just not sure what’s going on—this episode will give you clarity on what to do next.
