Summary
How do you keep your marriage alive when life gets busy and you're stuck in the stress bubble? And what does it look like to give your wife the emotional attention she actually deserves? In this special series of 'Average Joe' conversations, Jim Ramos sits down with Mark McDonnell and has an open conversation about flirting with purpose in marriage. Instead of letting your attention drift toward other women, they challenge men to direct their energy, playfulness, and emotional connection back toward their wives, where it belongs. Whether you've been married for two years or twenty, it's easy to disengage and start looking for affirmation elsewhere. Healthy marriages are built when husbands stay intentional, present, and engaged with the woman they promised their lives to. Jim's newest book, Guardrails: Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage will be releasing in April 2026. Pre-order your copy today at https://tinyurl.com/guardrails115 .
