Marriage is a covenant relationship. As I said last week, many today regard marriage as permanent as long as they're happy and things work out. But when the other person is no longer meeting their perceived needs or they're simply not happy, they believe they're free to break that covenant. At best, most think of marriage as a legally binding contract. Contracts are entered into for a variety of reasons. They can be negotiated and with the right attorney are often broken or nullified. Not so with a covenant.
