Establishes provisions relating to covenant marriages

Summary

The bill lets couples who are legally eligible to marry choose a covenant marriage by filing a designated license and a signed declaration after completing at least eight hours of premarital counseling. It also permits couples already married under a standard license to convert to a covenant marriage without additional counseling. All covenant marriages would be recognized by state agencies with the same rights as standard marriages, but would have stricter rules for ending the marriage.
