Добавлен 14 янв 2013
Hi! We're Ryan & Selena Frederick. Without a doubt, if it weren't for Christ we would not still be together. But because of him, we're able to say that we've been married for 20 years and we have four wonderful daughters. We spend our days writing, podcasting, and speaking to couples about what it means to live as a family in full light of the Gospel... and we like to have a ton of fun in the process.

I know this is probably off subject but I can not seem to find anyway to contact anyone at Feirce Marriage. I just really want to know if there is going to be another conference this year in 2024 like what was held in the fall of 2023? If so please let me know. My wife and I would love to attend. Thanks.
By the way I love listening to your videos and podcasts. Even bought several of your books. Thanks for what you’re doing. Keep it coming it’s very encouraging.
Amen!!
Real abuse is no joke.
My wife is checked out.
Can't wait for the next one! I'm not sure I agree with trust proceeds love as God loves us but I don't think he trusts us or at least trusts us to be what we are going to be which is sinful. This makes me think of something else, is trust necessary for love? Or is trust more knowing who a person is and how they are going to act? For example, I could trust that this person is going to betray me. I could still love that person. You can trust for someone to not be trustworthy. Thoughts?
Another thing, you can trust God is good but bad things (from my perspective) can still happen to me. Yet I trust God is good, just not the way I want them to be good (my sinful desires). In the same way I can trust someone to be "good" in their own way, for example, they love chaos, I love order, we run our lives differently but still love and trust each other to be that person we are going to be. ..... I have had too much caffeine this morning...
Thank you! Looking forward to this series.
There is so much lying in my marriage that we don’t have any other real communication at all. How did I tolerate this for 4 years and think this was anything real 😞 My husband lies to me month after month. What a waste.
I’m wanting to make sure I understand and if this is flawed please show me. Is trust the action to faith?
Looking forward to hearing this and the following episodes. Thanks in advance for tackling the tough stuff!
He says tell her? Talk to the spouse about this? Will that not totally destroy their confidence?
Thanks for this! I have found these two things very helpful as well: pray silently in the moment for wisdom when you pause/breathe. Also, try to show affection… give your spouse a hug.
Link to full episode?
Thank you! Another valuable episode, as always. I appreciate your bibliocentric approach and for all that you offer for the marriages of the Fierce community.
Love you guys! I am grateful for your ministry ❤
It sounds like the wife is stressed, beyond stressed into her role as a mother, as a wife, as a homemaker, as having a Job outside the home and yet with all that she is still expected to be willing and pleasant. That sounds rough. It seems that she just doesn't know how to explain to her husband that she is just stressed and she is recommending a vacation. However what she needs is just the husband to tell her, " go take a day for yourself, unwind, enjoy a hobby (gym, tennis, etc) then come back" . They both are feeling that they are not being understood and they are not communicating the core problem. Stress. On both sides.
Great episode! I am learning how to be that servant leader for my wife and she loves it. It makes her want to serve me more.
🤛
My wife and I try to finish the last hour or two together on the couch. We have just finished the “How the husband and wife speak to each other,” books and we have been talking about these book together every night. Your ministry had been a great blessing to us. May God bless your family.
I was gonna say it was gross because you think marriage is a goal. Then you just come out and say it. So creepy
Nah. It's creepier to just "try someone out" without at least intending to try and love them in the most selfless way possible.
Once we recognize we are escalating into an argument, my wife and I have adopted the phrase... "Let's both stop...This is not who we are." Sometimes it's a statement of faith in a tense situation 🙂, but it does cause us to stop and immediately remember we're on the same team and can discuss things in a calm manner... We've found that most of the emotional side of conversations isn't really between us, but it's easier to "target" each other with the emotions. It's been almost 33 years and counting and it only took us 30 of it to get better at this.... LOL😂
If my husband sees this, I love you ❤️
I pray I can apply these in my marriage. I get very defensive even when my husband wasnt pointing a comment at me... i pray for the patience and abilitity to breath and see clearly and control the tone of my voice and my thoughts.
Saying, "I like Jesus, but not the Church" is like telling a husband, "I like you, but not your wife".
Insubordinate and chilrlish 😂👌
🤣
Question. I would love for you to talk about having a spouse on the autism spectrum. My husband has Asperger's. It is very challenging: emotional distance, difficulty socially or emotionally connecting and loneliness within marriage. While you are in your 20s, 30s, and 40s you pretty much tolerate anything.... as you get older your tolerance level changes. Your needs become crystal clear. We are seeing a counselor but I'm told Aspergers in marriage is more common then people know. You accept the condition, but also accept the large hole that is left by it. It's tough.
I have a question, what about Hosea story? Don’t you think that you can be called to marry someone that is not a believer?
I try to talk to my husband about my desire/need for sexual intimacy but it gets him fristrated
I know this is an old video, however, the thumbnail should actually read, "Move Past Your Past." I know it looks funny, but that is grammatically correct. I love the work y'all do - old and new ☺ God bless!
Does the “how a wife speaks book” come in audio format?
1 Corinthians 7:12 CSB [12] But I (not the Lord) say to the rest: If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
Yep
What if? If you aren't married, it's simple: Break Up. If you are married, stay married, but that's where they need help navigating.
That’s basically what we said in the video.
@@TheFredericks You did. I'm sorry.
The speed limit comparison is actually a good example: Some countries have a very low limit on motorways, others don’t have one at all, yetis is perfectly safe to travel at 160 km/h on an empty motorway. It‘s two-fold: Biblically we are called to use our own judgement in situational aspects and whether we are witnesses for Christ. In a worldly context, there‘s the legalistic aspect where you technically break the law when only 120 km/h is allowed, although just across the border it wouldn’t be a problem at all to go much faster.
I think it's important for women to examine their own hearts when they buck against dress codes and the like from their fathers or husbands, or leadership of organizations they're apart of. Are you submitting yourself to Christ and the authority He has placed over you, or are you allowing the curse of Eve to dictate your response? Do you really think the request is wrong, or do you not like being told what to do? Are you more or less set apart by dressing within the guidelines set for you? Will it lead to more or less sanctification in your personal spiritual life? It's so easy to fall in line with societal and cultural thinking on this issue, but you really have to examine your heart and the motivation for your response to a rule or guideline.
Toxic femininity are the ones with a body count looking like the army
They have no power men give them what they have
All you females should join the Army and protect the country
great podcast
Vacations for marriages that have grown cold are just an opportunity to fight in my experience. If you arent able to warm the marriage up without vacations, it would certainly be a waste of money. Vacations dont solve issues that arent addressed on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
If more couples would have discussions like these in your podcast and not get stuck on im right and your wrong and realize that we have a greater authoirty that we need to defer to marriage would get much better as a whole.
Does solid grounds for divorce include a husband who can't provide a husband who can't even provide a home along with being to clingy and can't even have any friends really because he wants you to be his only friend??
I love you guys so much. Unfortunately, my wife hasn’t turned from her affair that she started 18 years into our marriage (with another woman’s husband) but God is good, and he is already restoring my future, even as che continues on her path, and the divorce is not yet finalized.
Great talk, thank you. It's a little disappointing that infertility is the first topic listed in the title, but it feels like it was kind of glossed over. I understand it's difficult for families with children to really speak empathetically to this topic, but it would be nice to be given more than a brief token amount of time.
The women who try so hard to make their husband their "friend", is probably because they dont have the other connecting aspects. Some guys think its ok just to have their wife be there, do their duty, and look pretty... and dont necessarily want anything deeper. I agree with all you said, but some dont have the relationship God intended for marriage. Ive been trying to get my husband to underatand as a woman i need a deep connection, not just surface level. He thinks we are friends cause we can sit in the same room on our phones and thats good enough. Very lonely... Im trusting God to work it out. I tried for 13 years my way and nothing i do or say works. So may God bring us closer.
Amen, may God mend your marriage in Jesus name.
It's called being in love with each other. Totally different that being friends.
Allergies are happening. I have been feeling the same way and so do my little ones
So your wife is a unique type of best friend which is essentially the point you make. I tell my wife daily that she is my favorite person. While that is true, she understands that it's much deeper than that. I know her at the deepest level and still love her for all that she is. She is my person.
Such a blessing! May God continue blessing your marriage. Amen!
Great episode
The answer is so simple, but it is not easy. Thank you for this great reminder!
I am reading your book, "How a Wife Speaks". Even though I am older than you and have been married longer (27 years) you both have so much knowledge and wisdom on the topic of marriage. There is so much area to cover and you both do a great job of hitting this complex topic with clarity. I appreciate you both and your channel. Thank you,
