The familiar type of union requires little effort to enter and can be terminated by either party. Covenant marriage requires premarital coun-seling, an agreement bound by fault-based rules or waiting periods to exit, and a legal stipulation that a couple can divorce only after the couple has received counseling. Drawing on interviews with 700 couples this book evaluates the viability of public policy in marital affairs and explores the meaning of marriage |
