59. The Marriage Shift That Changes Everything ft. Amanda Hayhurst

What if the breakthrough in your marriage doesn’t start with your spouse… but with you?
In this episode of No Matter What, Hanna Seymour sits down with Amanda Hayhurst, author of Pray for Him and Pray for Her, to talk about what happens when you stop trying to fix your spouse—and start faithfully praying instead.
Amanda shares her raw story of a struggling marriage, the turning point that changed everything, and how consistent, intentional prayer transformed not just her husband—but her own heart, peace, and perspective.
If your marriage feels hard, stuck, or not what you hoped for, this conversation will remind you: God is still at work.
Whether you’re married, hoping to be, or walking through a hard season—this episode will meet you right where you are.
In this episode:
Why trying to “fix” your spouse backfires
The difference between helping and controlling
How prayer shifts your heart (even before it changes your marriage)
What to do when your spouse isn’t responding
How to trust God’s timing and plan
