Marriage & Motherhood - How To Reconnect With Your Spouse After Kids
Motherhood changes everything, including your marriage.
If you’re a mom who feels stuck having the same arguments on repeat, disconnected from your partner, or like you’ve slipped into roommate mode filled with resentment and tension, you’re not alone and your relationship isn’t broken.
Welcome to The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast.
I’m Michelle Purta, mom of 3, marriage coach, and I help couples understand and shift the communication patterns that keep them stuck so they can rebuild connection, strengthen their partnership, and feel like an "us" again.
Each week, you’ll learn how to navigate marriage and motherhood with better communication, emotional awareness, and practical conflict resolution tools that actually work in real life.
We go beyond surface-level advice and focus on what’s really driving the disconnection like reactive cycles, emotional shutdown, miscommunication, and unresolved resentment.
This podcast is for couples who want to:
- break the cycle of repeating arguments
- communicate clearly without shutdowns or blowups
- resolve conflict in a way that builds connection instead of resentment
- move out of roommate mode and back into a connected partnership
You’ll learn the skills to shift your patterns, improve communication, and create a more connected, supportive marriage while you're knee deep in parenthood.
Because a strong relationship isn’t about avoiding conflict. It’s about knowing how to move through it together.
If you’re ready to stop having the same fight and start feeling like a team again, you’re in the right place.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Feel like you're constantly arguing with your partner? You’re not having different arguments, you’re actually stuck repeating the same pattern.
If you feel like you and your partner keep going in circles… talking about the same things… and nothing ever changes, this episode will help you understand why.
Because the truth is, most couples think they have a communication problem.
But what’s actually happening is a pattern problem.
In this episode, I break down:
- Why repetitive arguments happen in marriage
- The emotional pattern that keeps couples stuck
- What’s really happening before the words are even spoken
- Why trying to “communicate better” isn’t enough
- The simple awareness shift that changes everything
You’ll also hear a real client example that shows how resentment, disconnection, and feeling unsupported aren’t about what you think it's about. They’re about how you're each responding to each other in the moment.
This episode will help you stop focusing on what you’re fighting about and start understanding why it keeps happening.
Because when you can see the pattern… you can finally change it. Awareness is the first step.
