Premarital counseling

The law requires couples who are considering a Covenant Marriage to undergo premarital counseling. This involves discussions about the purposes of marriage, responsibilities, and legal aspects. Couples who opt for premarital counseling agree to continue it whenever problems arise or if one party wants a divorce. Counseling is not a requirement. Although it can be very helpful, it should not be mandatory.

If you are already married, you can convert your marriage into a covenant marriage. Here's how it works. You need to seek premarital counselling to ensure that you're ready for marriage. Once you've gone through marriage counseling, you can convert to a covenant marriage if you want to get married.


Requirements in order to have a judicial dissolution of a covenant marriage

Two partners can not separate because of the requirements for judicial seperation in the covenant marital state. A court will grant an order that grants an incidental relief to divorce in the county in whose jurisdiction either party resides. A spouse who waives the venue provisions will have no standing in the divorce case. A judge can also award the surviving spouse spousal support, claims for contributions to education, and child custody, visitation rights, and support. In addition, a covenant marriage allows both partners to retain their right to use the family home, including the residence.

Limitations on grounds for divorce in a covenant marriage

A covenant marriage is a contract between two people to be married for life. It limits grounds for divorce to adultery, a felony, or substance abuse.

Discrimination against covenant marriage

American Civil Liberties Union is a long-standing opponent to covenant marriage. Although covenant marriages can serve as a means of committing or signaling, they do not reduce differences among married couples due to race, education or other characteristics. This policy also increases a spouse's bargaining ability. The ACLJ however recognizes that covenant marriages can be less beneficial for women than for men.
