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.

Love languages aren’t forever — they can change too!
When you were dating, maybe gifts or fancy dinners made you feel loved. But after kids? Chances are, what fills your cup has shifted. Maybe now it’s acts of service, quality time, or simply being told how much your partner appreciates you.
The problem is, most couples don’t realize that their old ways of showing love may not land anymore, so you both keep trying, but it feels like your efforts miss the mark. That’s where disconnection, resentment, and unmet needs sneak in.
In this episode, I share:
- Why love languages evolve
- How to recognize when your needs (and your partner’s) have shifted
- Simple ways to check in and stay updated on what feels most supportive right now
- How curiosity and experimentation can keep love alive even in busy parenthood
Your marriage isn’t broken if the old ways don’t work anymore. It’s an invitation to update the “manual” so that your relationship keeps thriving as you both grow and change.
If you’re ready to uncover where your marriage is thriving and where it needs more attention, grab my Marriage 360 Review. It’s the perfect way to see clearly where to focus your energy for the biggest impact.
