Synopsis

Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way.Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

I’m sitting down to write this review less than 24 hours after having a rather intense conflict with my wife. It happens now and then. I have a Master’s degree in Family Education, I work with couples all the time, I’ve read dozens of marriage books, and I can tell you all the steps for managing con......more

My wife and I read this book as part of a small group christian couples. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have to give readers two important disclaimers. First everything that the married couple Ryan and Selena Frederick cover in this book will not make a difference if you are no......more

Goodreads review by Candice on January 03, 2020

This is not your typical marriage book. It is not a “do this and your marriage will get better” kind of book. It’s a book a couple wrote together describing their experiences and how the Bible has helped them through the bad ones. It is a book that leans heavily on God, the scripture, and each other......more

Goodreads review by Julie on July 24, 2020

Chock full of the GOSPEL! Definitely a once-a-year read. On the downside, no application for the unequally yoked, or even spouses not quite on the same page. But man, get a few couples living their marriage in light of the gospel, transform their families, transform the Church, transform the world!......more
