Summary
Does the way you compliment, give gifts, and make someone feel cross a line? Are your words building your marriage—or quietly putting it at risk? In this week's message, Jim Ramos takes a look at an interesting story in King Solomon's life. Are your words or gifts building up your marriage…or quietly opening doors you never meant to open? Using the story of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, we unpack how unchecked affirmation, attention, and access can lead to compromised boundaries and unintended consequences. 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 .
