== Covenant Marriage ==
In order to help solve the social problems created by inordinately high divorce rates, some states have begun passing laws enabling [covenant marriage]s. A covenant marriage in some cases is harder to obtain than a default lawful marriage license and also is more difficult to break (the common exceptions being violence, abandonment or adultery). <ref>http://marriage.about.com/cs/covenantmarriage/a/covenant.htm</ref>
