About Jim Ramos
Jim Ramos is a bestselling author, speaker, and the founder of Men in the Arena, an international ministry focused on equipping Christian Men in the 'Stress Bubble' of life — married, with kids in the home, struggling to lead their families, churches, and communities well. Jim passionately galvanizes men to fight passivity, "get out of the bleachers," and step up "into the arena" of spiritual leadership.
Called "one of the pioneers of digital men's ministry," Ramos leads an army of half a million men on social media and a global network of Men in the Arena teams. He hosts the top-ranked Spotify podcast for Christian men, the Men in the Arena Podcast, and has written numerous books, including two USA TODAY Bestsellers: 'Dialed In: Reaching Your Full Capacity as a Man of God' and his recent release for couples, 'Guardrails: Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage' which he co-authored with Shanna, his bride of nearly 4 decades.
About Guardrails
Why are so many marriages falling apart?
Infidelity isn't a full-frontal assault. Like the serpent in the Garden, it is sneaky, deceptive, and always looking for the slightest crack in the marital covenant to breach and ultimately destroy.
Adultery doesn't begin in a bedroom. It starts with a personal text to a female coworker, a compliment to a waitress, or a direct message to an old classmate or ex-girlfriend.
In this book, USA TODAY bestselling author Jim Ramos outlines the 10 marriage rules he and his wife Shanna put into place 33 years ago to protect their marriage.
Jim's study of the Bible revealed that no one is immune: even heroes of the Bible like David, Solomon, and Samson were brought down by mistakes made with the opposite sex. And, in the years since, he's watched ministry leader after ministry leader fall to the same mistakes.
If you want your marriage to thrive, you can't take any chances. Don't walk right up on the edge of the precipice that would mean the death of your marriage, instead put in place these 10 guardrails — boundaries — that will protect the most important relationship in your world!

I have to tell you that I have never, in all these 33 years that I've been working with men and doing radio interviews, television shows, podcasts — I have never been on a better program in all these years. The enthusiasm, the forethought, the preparation, the humility, the passion, and of course the shared common cause — these things are above and beyond. I just wanted you to hear that from me.
