Description
Ryan and Selena Frederick arrived in Switzerland as newlyweds, eager to pursue Selena’s passion for training horses. What they didn’t know was that Ryan was living under the shadow of a worsening genetic heart condition—a silent death sentence. As his health declined, he faced a critical surgery that could either save his life or end it on the operating table. Bracing for the worst, the young couple prepared their hearts for whatever might come.
Miraculously, Ryan survived, and in that second chance, they recognized the gift of a future together. Yet the close brush with loss transformed their perspective on life and love. They resolved to live boldly, love deeply, and fight relentlessly for a marriage centered on Christ—no matter what challenges lay ahead.
Fierce Marriage is more than their story; it’s a rallying cry for couples to prioritize God above all else in their relationship. Ryan and Selena challenge spouses to measure their words and actions against Christ’s sacrificial love and to view marriage not just as a bond to maintain but as a battle worth fighting—every single day. Grounded in the gospel, they provide hope and practical guidance for common marital struggles, from communication breakdowns and intimacy issues to financial strain, family conflicts, digital distractions, and unmet expectations.
