Why Postpartum Is So Hard on Marriages

Postpartum doesn’t just change moms — it changes relationships. In this episode, we talk honestly about why the postpartum season is so hard on marriages and partnerships, and why so many couples feel disconnected, resentful, or misunderstood after having a baby. In this video, we cover: • The invisible mental load mothers carry • Why “his tired” and “her tired” are not the same • How resentment builds during survival mode • The identity shift moms and dads experience differently • What actually helps postpartum moms feel supported • Why help isn’t stepping in — it’s stepping up • How the lack of a village makes everything harder This conversation isn’t about blame — it’s about understanding what’s happening so couples can survive and grow through one of the hardest transitions of life. 🎙 No Textbook for Life Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music 📺 New video episodes every Wednesday
