The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast
If you're a mama whose marriage has become increasingly disconnected and difficult after kids, this podcast is for you. Join host Michelle Purta each week as she has open and honest conversations about what it takes to have a successful and healthy marriage focusing on healthy communication and deep connection.
While mom life can feel rewarding, it can also feel like losing yourself. You trade in your self care for self sacrifice and your marriage takes a backseat or no seat at all as you juggle this crazy life where it feels like all you do is chores, take care of the kids, and work.
Well, here is the space where you get to be reminded that you don't have to choose between being a good mom and having a great marriage. Being happily married is a skill and skills can be learned, so tune in weekly to get your dose of how to upgrade your experience of marriage through motherhood!

Ep. 221 - How to Use Resentment to Strengthen Your Marriage
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Resentment doesn’t mean your marriage is broken, it means something needs to change.
It’s not just frustration. It’s a signal. A buildup of unmet needs and silence that, left unaddressed, can lead to emotional disconnection, bitterness, and burnout.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what resentment really is and why it shows up so often in marriages, especially after kids. You’ll learn how to use it as a tool for reconnection.
In this episode, I share:
- What resentment really means (and what it’s not)
- How to recognize the signs early
- Everyday ways resentment builds in parenting and partnership
- How to use resentment to strengthen your marriage
Resources mentioned:
- Marriage 360 Review – Identify where resentment is hiding and what your marriage needs most
- Book a Clarity Call to explore how coaching can help your marriage grow stronger
