The EWD-1 — the Emotional Wealth Diagnostic, Instrument One — is the structured read on where your marriage is compounding and where it is quietly costing you. Built around the Five Deposits, the anti-patterns, and the Silent Withdrawal Index.

What It Measures

Six Readings. One Marriage.

The instrument scores six dimensions — each tied to a framework, each tied to a year-ahead protocol.

The Five Deposits Score

Where Honor, Gentleness, Attunement, Repair, and Compound Tenderness are compounding — and where they are running thin.

The Silent Withdrawal Index

The reading on what's quietly being withdrawn without anyone signing for it — the most predictive of the framework's measures.

The Repair Velocity

How quickly your marriage returns to rupture. The single strongest predictor of long-term compounding.

The Anti-Pattern Surface

Which of the ten Anti-Patterns are showing up most often — and which are dormant.

The Covenant Climate

The emotional atmosphere of the marriage on average — safety, warmth, and the disposition toward repair.

The Inherited Ledger

What patterns you brought into this marriage from prior generations — named so the cycle can end with you.

Run It Annually

The Marriage with a Year Ahead.

Every marriage needs a structured year-ahead conversation. Almost none of them run one.

Run the EWD-1 once a year — on your anniversary, on New Year's Day, on the date Yvonne ran it (May 25). Compare year to year. Watch what compounds.
