For the pastors, premarital counselors, and ministry leaders ready to bring Sacred Deposits™ — and Before the Vow™ — to the couples they serve.
The most consequential marriage prep most couples will ever receive happens in the six weeks before the wedding. Six weeks for a covenant that's meant to last sixty years.
Sacred Deposits™ was built for the rooms where that prep actually happens. Before the Vow™ is the six-session curriculum that lives in those rooms — biblically anchored, framework-rigorous, and built to be taught by anyone you trust with the marriages in your church.
The Premarital Curriculum
Six structured sessions on the actual disciplines a marriage runs on — not generic premarital advice, but the frameworks behind Sacred Deposits™.
Most premarital prep teaches conversation prompts. Before the Vow™ teaches the operating system. The Five Deposits™. The Anti-Patterns™ to watch for. The Repair Cycle™. The Inherited Ledger™ couples are each walking in with.
Couples leave session six with a written covenant — built by them, owned by them, witnessed by their church.
The depth of partnership scales with the season the church is in. Start anywhere.
A six-week sermon series anchored in Sacred Deposits™, with small group materials for your community to walk through together.
Full license to use Before the Vow™ as your church's premarital curriculum — with facilitator training and ongoing support.
Deepest tier — a co-development relationship for churches building a comprehensive marriage ministry on the Sacred Deposits™ framework.
Sacred Deposits™ did not come out of a publishing house. It came out of marriage ministry in real churches — rooms where pastors watched couples struggle with patterns no one had named for them, and asked Yvonne for a framework that would help.
The book launches May 25, 2026 in partnership with founding churches in Southern California. If your church is building the future of premarital care, the founding partner door is still open.
