In this marriage-saving handbook, USA Today–bestselling author Jim Ramos gives couples 10 time-tested ways to protect their relationship from infidelity—one simple choice at a time.

Most affairs don’t start with alarm bells. They start more subtly with a friendly email to an ex. A joke that borders on flirty. A growing connection with a coworker. Becoming aware of how infidelity sneaks into a relationship is key to keeping your marriage healthy and growing.

In Guardrails, Jim Ramos draws on observations from nearly forty years of marriage and full-time ministry to help you recognize those red flags early, establish mutual boundaries that work, and build the long-lasting marriage you want. Including insights from Jim’s wife, this biblically based, real-life guide helps you and your spouse:

• learn practical, daily ways to protect your marriage
• recognize and avoid the small, unwise decisions that can lead to divorce
• find freedom in taking compromising options off the table
• feel secure in the empowerment of setting boundaries together

Nothing should keep your marriage from thriving. Whether you just walked down the aisle or are adjusting to an empty nest, Guardrails will help you stay faithful in heart, mind, and body to enjoy and protect what matters most.
