The 5:1 Blueprint for Protecting Your Marriage
Every marriage is shaped by what is regularly deposited into it — and quietly withdrawn from it. This is the book for couples who understand that love is not passive stewardship. It is a disciplined, daily practice.

About the Book
The distance grows gradually — through patterns repeated so often they become invisible. Sacred Deposits names those patterns and gives you a structure to interrupt them before they become the story.
The Gottman Institute's research is clear: five positive interactions are required to offset every one negative. This book translates that ratio into a daily operating model — grounded in behavioral science and covenant commitment.
Most marriage resources work in crisis. This book works upstream — designed for the couple that is still intact, still functioning, and privately aware that something needs to be strengthened before it breaks.
From the founder of EQGenix comes a research-grounded, faith-centered blueprint for protecting your marriage. Sacred Deposits gives couples the framework, the language, and the daily operating system to build what most marriages only hope for.
Questions
Sacred Deposits is written for married couples — particularly those who are committed to their marriage and want a practical framework for protecting and strengthening it. It speaks equally to couples who are thriving and want to build more intentionally, and to couples who sense growing distance and want to address it before it becomes a crisis. Pastors and counselors working with couples will also find significant value in the framework.
Yes. Sacred Deposits is written from a Christian, covenant-centered perspective. That said, the behavioral science foundation gives the book immediate practical utility regardless of where a reader is in their faith. The science is real. The framework is sound. The faith lens deepens the commitment to apply it.
A concrete, actionable framework — not simply inspiration. You will gain language for the relational patterns currently operating in your marriage, a structured model for building and maintaining healthy emotional balance, and a practical operating system grounded in behavioral science and covenant commitment. Readers leave with something they can apply on a Tuesday afternoon, not just after a retreat weekend.
The deposits you make today determine the account balance your marriage draws from tomorrow.
