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!
Doing more doesn’t make you a better partner. It makes you exhausted, resentful, and disconnected.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the mental load, keeping everything running, and wondering why your partner isn’t stepping up… this episode is going to shift how you see it.
The truth is, this dynamic isn’t just happening to you. It’s being created inside the relationship pattern itself.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
- Why overfunctioning leads to your partner underfunctioning
- The difference between being supportive vs controlling
- How “doing it all” quietly creates resentment and disconnection
- Why silent expectations are setting your relationship up to fail
- How to shift from manager mode into real partnership
- Simple ways to start redistributing responsibility without chaos
The good news? You don’t need to do more. You need to create space for partnership.
