My husband and I were married in June, but our church recently held a "covenant marriage" ceremony that we participated in. In the state of AZ, Christians (or anyone, for that matter) can chose to get a covenant marriage license that makes it much more difficult to get a divorce. (i.e. you can't divorce because of "irreconcilable differences.") It has to be abuse, abandonment, adultery, and there are a few other exceptions. I think if you are in a state with a convenant marriage license, you should think about converting it! Make a statement that you take marriage seriously!

Covenant marriages seem like an okaty idea, but in actuality they don't mean much, legally speaking. Either of you could circumvent the rules by moving to another state and asking for a divorce under that state's laws.
