Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"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.

"Fierce Marriage is the story of a couple learning and striving to put Christ above all else, in all matters of marriage. . . . When two young authors get the root this right, you can surely trust the fruit."--Gary Thomas, bestselling author of Sacred Marriage

"Ryan and Selena passionately share God's truth about marriage, encouraging husbands and wives to pursue and fulfill their purpose of having a fierce marriage that points others to the heart of God."--Aaron and Jennifer Smith, founders of HusbandRevolution.com and UnveiledWife.com

Christ is the model for love
5 out of 5 stars
Christ is the model for love
I was given this book as member of the launch team and it was such a great book! As someone married for nine years and what we call still in love: this book is the closest thing to a marriage handbook. I do not believe there is a formula for life necessarily but the key things that make healthy relationships are here in this book... My favorite is the center on the gospel. The greatest act of love: Jesus dying on the cross! So... Dissecting the life, ministry and death & resurrection to apply the universe's greatest human's principles for our day to day: epic. So, thanks Ryan and Selena. This book was so encouraging! I read a chapter a night (maybe two) and I have four kids ages 6 and under!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Helps Build a Healthy Perspective on Marriage
    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2019

    Personally, I try my best to be prepared as far ahead as possible for everything. Just an example, I tried to get an apartment 5 months ahead. I know. Naturally, being engaged I've been trying to soak up as much advice/how-to's as possible in preparation for the next exciting chapter in my life. I actually started listening to their podcast first, got my fiancee hooked too, and then decided after loving listening to their podcast for a while to get the book. I had her read it first and then I read it (Grab two different-colored pens when you read, and then talk about them together - super helpful). What a read! Ryan and Selena have an amazing story that me and my fiancee could really relate to. You know you want that book on how-to's, your "20-something ways to be a better husband" book, but there's a lot more to marriage than how-to's. This book does it all. Marriage is, hopefully in your book, a lifelong commitment that's going to be great but great doesn't mean easy. That's one of the main things I love about the book is how Ryan and Selena do their best to shatter the world's sugar-coated view of marriage and give you a real one. Marriage is flat out difficult. That being said, this book has made me feel more at peace with getting married than ever before. What I love the most about this read is that it has the right goals in place, pointing you more to connect to Jesus. If you have listened to their podcast, still get the book! The isn't the exact same thing as the podcast, I don't want to say it's far better because I love both. The price blew me away - I'm getting so much out of the money I spent on it. All in all, I'm very happy I made this purchase.

    5.0 out of 5 stars READ IT TWICE - YOU WON'T REGRET IT
    Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Review comes from a busy family with many small kids. We wouldn't write a review unless it's really worth it.

    First, few quick thoughts.
    1) I suggest you read the book twice, as I did. Then buy a few for friends ask them to do the same.
    2) The content will light a fire under you to pursue your spouse more intentionally, and show you where you are not.
    3) It will challenge you to walk deeper with God the way a mirror shows you what you really look like underneath.
    4) You can't read a book with the word "Fierce" in the title and not expect it to call you out or step on your toes. Be warned!

    Rick and Selena Frederick pretty much put their hearts on a platter as they share their lives through a love relationship. The theme of God's Covenant (which is refreshingly counter-cultural to a dead religious society) runs through every page beginning with their own marriage story and how they actually work out this relationship in their daily lives in money, sex, conflict, and future. Both their aggressive nature and their kind spirit show in the writing.

    This book is chalked full of real world, biblical, unchanging wisdom from God's word and the voice of two authentic and transparent people. In fact, a part of Chapter 9 is titled "Fight Naked." Go read it yourself. It's hilarious! The truth is every bit of Rick and Selena Frederick's book is about being emotionally and spiritually transparent with a covenant keeping God in Christ Jesus. I personally liked Chapter 4: "Gritty Love" the most. Many fierce quotes from a couple who are not asking for permission to be themselves or to have a strong marriage. I personally hope they write another book in the future about family and legacy!

    Lastly, I want to say this book won't just hand you vision and purpose for your own marriage. Instead, they point you to a relationship with the person of Christ Jesus and you have to go ask Him yourself. They will show you what happens when a marriage is purposefully walking out who they are simply meant to be in a world that is looking for real hope!

    4.0 out of 5 stars and your marriage will be better. Do these things
    Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    If you've ever read a marriage book, it was probably filled with chapter after chapter of how-tos. Follow these steps, and your marriage will be better. Do these things, and your spouse will love you more. These steps aren't necessarily bad, but they're incomplete. If you've ever read a Christian marriage book, you've seen the same how-tos but with some random Bible verses scattered throughout.

    And each of the above points is where Fierce Marriage is different.

    First, Ryan and Selena are transparent. They don't even attempt (which would fail) to present themselves as having it all together. They openly present to their readers the struggles they've had daily. This gives them great credibility in their writing.

    Second, they don't give you many how-tos. They share their experiences; both the successful and the failed ones. There is no one right way to do things, and their presentation allows people to evaluate whether their actions would work.

    And third, Fierce Marriage is one of the top marriage books I've read in terms of theology. THAT is the key to a successful marriage. We need to stop trying to make it work, and give our lives to God. When we do that, we become humble servants who love others people and lift them up. Isn't that what a successful marriage looks like? And that's what Ryan and Selena present beautifully; how we can focus our lives on God, which in turn will allow us to focus our marriage on God.

    I was given a free copy of this book to read and review, but no other incentives have been provided. This review is my honest thoughts about the book with no pressure from anyone.
