What did I deposit this week?
Three named deposits each spouse made — honor, attunement, repair, gentleness, compound tenderness. Said out loud.
The weekly check-in card. Seven questions. Sunday night. Two minutes. The smallest practice that protects what the rest of the deposits built.
The Weekly Practice
5:1
Linen-finish card stock · 52-card pack
Most marriages don't end on a Wednesday. They drift for years, and one Wednesday someone notices the distance. By then the deposit account has been quietly overdrawn for so long that returning feels like rebuilding.
The Covenant Card™ is the smallest possible practice that catches the drift before it compounds. Two minutes on Sunday night. Seven questions. One ratio.
It is designed to live on the kitchen counter, the nightstand, the dashboard. The Sunday-night ritual that protects everything else.
Two minutes that no marriage will regret. Two minutes most marriages will not make.
Three named deposits each spouse made — honor, attunement, repair, gentleness, compound tenderness. Said out loud.
One named withdrawal each spouse made — Subsidizing Absence™, Presence Fraud™, Armor Permanence™, or any anti-pattern in the taxonomy.
The 5:1™ check. Are we tracking toward five deposits per withdrawal? If not — what is one specific repair we can name for next week?
