well . . . .
I'm not sure about no religious marriage counseling. I'd even go to the extent if a couple willingly entered into any kind of Christian marriage that devolved to needing help that they'd be only allowed Christian marriage counseling in the sect/denom/schism they were married in (or was approved by) and additionally, if the marriage nevertheless founders, that's it, our government should be constrained by the First Amendment to only recognize their consensual marriage to each other, till death they do part, let no man put asunder, forsaking all others, period.
Just like they SWORE to do in front of their friends, families and witnesses. And those crucial clauses, "let no man put asunder" and "forsaking all others" are expressly and explicitly repudiating any future ability or right to seek a civil divorce or pursue a subsequent remarriage to anyone else.
Unless they want to sever their association with their Christian religion.
Asking them not to be hypocrites is just too much. Can't be done.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
