For Immediate Release
Canyon Lake, CA — May 25, 2026
Yvonne G. Hall, founder and CEO of EQGenix Inc., releases Sacred Deposits™: The Blueprint for Protecting Your Marriage on May 25, 2026 — a Christ-centered framework that translates decades of relationship research into a working discipline Christian couples can actually run.
At the framework's center is what Hall calls the 5:1 ratio: the research-backed pattern that stable marriages produce roughly five small deposits — moments of repair, attention, and tenderness — for every one withdrawal. Sacred Deposits™ takes that ratio out of the laboratory and into the covenant, naming behaviors most couples cannot articulate but feel every day.
Hall developed the framework across twenty-nine years of marriage to Jerry Pollard-Hall, while raising seven children and welcoming twelve grandchildren. A former Guardian ad Litem in Florida and California and NAMA CAMS-II certified, she brings together behavioral science, scripture, and lived experience in a voice that reads as neither clinical nor sentimental.
The hardcover ($36.99, 264 pages) launches May 25, 2026, followed by paperback, audiobook (read by the author), and Kindle eBook editions. A Spanish edition, Depósitos Sagrados, is scheduled for Fall 2026.
Sacred Deposits™ is published by EQGenix Inc., a Christ-centered Emotional Wealth Advisory firm operating under the positioning Build Emotional Wealth™. Hall is also the founder of Life in Darkness, a 501(c)(3) human-capacity development organization, and a federally certified WOSB co-founder of YGH Technology Consultants.

Most marriage advice tells couples what to feel. Sacred Deposits™ gives them what to do — small, structured, repeated actions that compound over time.
Research-backed: it takes five deposits to repair one withdrawal. Yvonne teaches couples to track both — and to live above the ratio.
“You are not raising children. You are raising future spouses.” The Legacy Ledger™ framework names what gets transferred — for good or for harm — across generations.
A built-in restoration practice. Three phases (Notice, Practice, Compound), thirty days, applicable to year-three or year-thirty marriages, with or without your spouse's participation.
Yvonne weaves applied behavioral science with scripture in a way Christian readers can use without feeling preached at, and that secular readers can engage with without feeling proselytized.
The framework was built across twenty-nine years of marriage to Jerry Pollard-Hall, an interracial Christian marriage — lending the work a positioning few marriage authors can claim.
Beyond the hardcover: his/her journals, a couples workbook, a premarital curriculum, a 501(c)(3) outreach arm, court-ordered curricula, and an institutional partnership pilot with Canyon Lake PD launching August 2026.
Available for keynotes, retreats, podcast interviews, church pulpits, and conference panels. Inquire below for availability and rates.
The science of small deposits, and why most couples burn out trying to make grand gestures instead. Best for: marriage conferences, couples retreats, church series.
What gets transferred to your children's future marriages — and how to interrupt the patterns you inherited. Best for: parenting audiences, multigenerational church gatherings.
How applied behavioral research and scripture can live in the same room without one needing to win. Best for: thought-leadership panels, Christian higher education, intellectual ministry contexts.
Twenty-nine years of marriage to a white husband, raising seven children across difference. Best for: racial reconciliation gatherings, blended family ministries, cross-cultural church initiatives.
Why we measure financial portfolios and ignore emotional ones, and the EQGenix framework for building emotional capital. Best for: business audiences, leadership conferences, professional women's groups.
The framework being piloted with the Canyon Lake Police Department for officer marriages and household resilience. Best for: law enforcement conferences, first-responder ministry, government and municipal audiences.
Use any of these as written, or adapt them. They lead to Yvonne's strongest material.
