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.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Going on regular dates but still feeling emotionally disconnected?
You’re not imagining it—and you’re not doing anything wrong.
In this episode, I explain why spending more time together doesn’t automatically rebuild connection, intimacy, or closeness in your marriage—and why date nights often fall flat when deeper issues haven’t been addressed.
You’ll learn:
- The foundation of real connection (it's not time together)
- How unresolved resentment and communication breakdowns affect your dates
- How connection is built through everyday “micro-moments,” not grand gestures
- What actually needs to happen before date nights can feel enjoyable again
If you’ve ever thought, “We’re doing the right things… so why doesn’t it feel better?” this episode will help you understand what’s really going on—and what to focus on instead.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building real connection, book a Clarity Call to explore what support could look like for your marriage.
