At the dawn of darkness, when love officially died, a savior was born. A messiah who began his life as an evangelical minister (before anyone realized it was a great way to bilk billions from the poor), but who wised up and abandoned God to instead save mankind through truth. Read more »

Covenant Marriages: Yes or No
Submitted by viciuzurban on Thu, 08/31/2006 - 1:12amFor thsoe that dont know a covenant marriage it is like an enforceable contract (legal term: no-fault divorce) between two partners mainly hetrosexual which stipulates fidelity and life-long commitment. For a covenant marriage, a couple must have premarital counselling and commit to counselling in the event of later problems. Currently covenant marriage legislation is only available in 3 states: Louisiana, Arizona, cant remember the other and I think its available in Canada.
I pose this question because i dont think it has validity in contemporary times and is rather an archaic form of a binding contract, a way in which marriage becomes privatised, failing to take into consideration that further probelms down the track can occur between partners, a falling out, arguments, custody battlements and the subsequent divorce. Covenant marriage or marriage contracts purport to try to stop this as it believes the institution of marriage is at an end althought it is surviving. Some agree that it has already begun a renaissance in recent decades.
Most celebrities nowdayds engage in pre-marriage contract and pre-nuptialsl. It seems that this kind of pre-marriage preparation is the norm to be acknowledged before marrying someone wealthy or property-rich. In a sense marriage is seen as an investment rather than a partnership which can be worked out if there is a falling out. Covenant marriages, form what i have understood, is only available in the United States of America.
If a marriage is simply a contract of autonomous individuals, why do spouses suffer such emotional injury?
Should covenant marriages be mandatory? Why? Why not?
