Fierce Marriage: Book Review

A special thanks to Baker Books Bloggers for sending me a complimentary copy of Ryan and Selena Frederick’s book, Fierce Marriage: Radically Pursuing Each Other in Light of Christ’s Relentless Love.

            In Fierce Marriage, the Frederick's not only share stories of their own experiences and discuss principles for a healthy marriage, they also spend a significant portion examining God’s intent and design for marriage. It has been said that marriage is not so much for your happiness as it is for your holiness. What exactly does that mean and look like? Well, from defining love to handling money, Fierce Marriage lays it out in a very readable yet convicting way. Whether engaged, newly married or in your sunset years, we highly recommend taking the time to read this book as it is excellent for any couple!

“You don’t fight for your marriage as much as Christ uses your marriage to fight for you.

You don’t pursue your spouse’s heart as much as Christ uses your spouse to pursue your heart.

You don’t prize your spouse’s affection with nearly the same ferocity with which Christ prizes yours.”
