In contrast to a standard marriage, a covenant marriage has additional requirements and formalities. The marriage license reflects the couple’s covenant election. Entering into a covenant marriage requires premarital counseling. Because there must be grounds for divorce, dissolving a covenant marriage is more complicated than with a standard no-fault divorce. The parties may still agree to dissolve their covenant marriage.
