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.

Ep. 264 - The Subtle Ways Resentment Builds In Your Marriage
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Resentment doesn’t show up overnight—and it doesn’t mean your marriage is broken.
In this episode, I break down why resentment builds quietly in marriages, especially after kids.
I share:
- Why resentment builds gradually instead of in one big moment
- How unspoken expectations turn into emotional shutdown and loss of intimacy
- The connection between resentment, self-abandonment, and feeling like roommates
- Why saving your partner from conflict doesn’t protect your marriage
- How early, honest conversations soften resentment and rebuild partnership
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, less playful, less flirtatious, or emotionally closed off—this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface and how to start shifting it.
