So are they trying to work around the Full Faith and Credit Clause that says that each state needs to honor the proceedings of other states? To say "that other state doesn't have covenant marriage, so you can't divorce from a covenant marriage using that other state's proceess?"
Or are they just trying to create some sort of scheme to raise the bar for divorce for people not willing to go out-of-state to get a divorce?

Like, if you want to get a divorce in Nevada, you can go spend a month-and-a-half in Nevada and then basically disregard whatever your home state's divorce restrictions are. That's still a not-inconsiderable barrier, though.
I'm a little suspicious that if the idea is the former, to create a whole new form of formal relationship so that other states will not permit one to exit the relationship, that probably some other state is going to have some activists go get "covenant marriage" added in that state too...and just have really weak barriers to exit it.
