You can lead a couple to marriage...

So let's see. Tennessee is planning to reduce divorce rates in the state by introducing a new kind of marriage that is non-mandatory. It require couples to go through marriage counseling before they get married, requires counseling again if the couple is contemplating a divorce, and extends the waiting period before a divorce becomes final but does not stop it altogether. Sound good so far?

Oh, and the three other states that have tried covenant marriages have seen no noticeable decline in their divorce rates.

Explain to me how this will, as the bill's sponsor claims, "keep the family together" again?
