Talk:Covenant marriage

message: As I understand it in the Bible, there is no where that states a covenant was broken due to actions. There were even times where one was tricked into a covenant and it was still honored by God when one party stood in faith and honored their covenant.
Therefore, a covenant should not have any stipulations or grounds for divorce based on actions of the other party. Divorce should NOT be an option when entering a covenant marriage.
A covenant is a unilateral, irrevocable, indissoluble commitment before God which is valid at least until death. A covenant is NOT dependent upon the choices of another, but is a commitment unto death before God.
These comments above are my thoughts and beliefs on covenant.

thread_title:  The meaning of COVENANT according to the Bible 

message: I think that the "Religious background" section should either be removed or at least seriously modified.  I think this section is trying to draw some type of link between concepts of marriage in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and the main subject of this article.  The problem is that the section is too generic, and (in my opinion) improperly links the concept of marriage in these three religions to the law of "covenant marriage" in some American legal jurisdictions.
For example, covenant marriage (as described in the remainder of the article) places limits on the right of married couples to divorce for any reason.  I'm unaware of any such restriction in Judaism, and I also do not think Islam has any such limitation.
Therefore, what's the point of the "Religious background" section?  Is it trying to link US law on the subject to religious authority?  Or is it trying to explain the general religious background behind the concept of marriage generally?  If the former, then this section requires much better authority and explanation.  If the latter, then the subject more properly belongs in the general wikipedia article about marriage.
Any agreements or disagreements about whether this section should be removed?  Techielaw (talk) 03:17, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
