Research suggests that in order to maintain marital stability, there should be at least five positive behaviors for every negative behavior. This means that the positive and negative behaviors do not have to equalize or cancel each other out, and ten positive behaviors per negative behavior is not necessary. Therefore, the best choice is C.
