This book will give you direct and concrete solutions for your marriage, young or old.

Foreword

Your marriage isnt about you.

Its not even about your marriage.

Ultimately, your marriage is about proclaiming the power and glory of Jesus Christ.

Thats the foundation from which Ryan and Selena write Fierce Marriage. When discussing conflict, Selena wisely points out, Jesus is not just a means to a better life; he is the better life.... Christ is every answer.

The problem for most of us is the bent of our lives. Christianity is an extreme religion, but we try to live it in the margins. Jesus said to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, but we pass this off as hyperbole. We think, Surely half is better than none .

The Christian life is about becoming centered on God (Matt. 6:33). We seek to love with his love, think his thoughts, and live for his will. When a soul is surrendered to God, it is focused on worship and service. Love God and love others. Praise God and be devoted to good works (Titus 2:14). Those are the two hinges on which the Christian life turns.

A marriage crashes when we stop asking, What does it mean to worship God in this situation? and What good works can I do in this situation? and start asking, How can I get my own way?

The only fix is for one or both spouses to re-center their lives around worship of and service for God. If husband and wife wake up with a commitment to worship and serve, they will be delighted in their marriage. If only one spouse wakes up with a commitment to worship and serve, thats the spouse who will have the most joy in their marriage and be less vulnerable to disappointments within it.

Think of it this way: Has anyone ever lived with more peace, more joy, and more contentment than Jesus? Of course not. Yet his closest companions included a doubter, a couple of zealous hotheads, and a thief who became a traitor. None of their self-centeredness colored his days or his attitude, because Jesus lived a life of worship and service.
