How do MRAs feel about covenant marriages?

Seems like a bad idea. I can easily see a couple of stupid kids fresh out of high school getting one done because they're totally in love and will stay together forever, only to realize down the road that they can't stand one another, with no way out.

Just my opinion, but divorce in and of itself isn't bad. I don't really see what all the fuss is about over the high rate. Some people just don't work out, and that's okay.

However, what is not okay is the way divorces are handled, with the overwhelming number of problems arising when there are children in the mix. If we solve the issues related to custody, child support, and alimony, divorce won't be such a big deal. I just don't see how those things could be solved by making it extremely difficult to leave a potentially toxic or unfulfilling relationship. Divorce doesn't destroy families, people do. I for one wish my parents had gotten divorced YEARS before they did, it would have been better for everyone, especially my younger siblings.

If divorce were illegal, people would think harder about getting married.

Sounds like religulous garbage. They only exist in 3 states, two of which are southern (of course.)
