Fierce Marriage: Radically Pursuing Each Other in Light of Christ's Relentless Love
Ebook
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.

"An incredible read that will inspire, encourage, and bring
hope to your relationship."
--Jefferson Bethke, New York Times bestselling
author
When Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds, neither of them knew
that Ryan would soon need major surgery that would either save his
life or result in his death on the operating table. By God's grace,
Ryan survived. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that
would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for
each other every step of the way. And they would dedicate
themselves to helping others do the same.
Fierce Marriage is a call to put Christ at the center of
your marriage, measuring everything you do and say to each other
against what Christ did for you. With passionate personal stories
and practical, gospel-centered advice, the Fredericks help you
handle five key areas of marriage: priorities, communication,
money, sex, and conflict. Their hopeful approach will help you to
see marriage as not just a relationship you should try to keep
healthy but also one worth fighting for--in every
situation.
