Why You Keep Having the Same Fight With Your Partner

Has your marriage started to feel more like managing a household than being in a partnership? Between kids, work, schedules, mental load, and the never-ending business of family life, it’s easy for your relationship to get pushed to the bottom of the list. And before you know it, you’re having the same arguments over and over—or barely connecting at all. In this episode, I’m talking with marriage coach and mom of three Michelle Purta about how relationships change after kids, why couples get stuck in frustrating communication patterns, and what you can do to start feeling like a team again. Michelle shares why the thing you’re arguing about often isn’t the real issue, how our reactions can create a predictable “dance” with our partner, and why changing your own part of the pattern can shift the relationship—even if your partner isn’t ready to do the work with you yet. We talk about: Why so many couples unintentionally put their marriage on the back burner after kids How to recognize the patterns underneath your recurring arguments Why escalating and withdrawing can keep couples stuck The role personal accountability plays in better communication What you can do when your partner isn’t interested in coaching or therapy How to know when it might be time to get outside support One simple question you can ask yourself today to start changing the way you communicate Michelle is a marriage coach, mom of three, and host of The Marriage and Motherhood Podcast. She helps couples move from reactive patterns to intentional partnership so they can feel more connected, supported, and like an “us” again while raising kids.
