I think all those conservative religious fundies that so want marriage protected need to have a check box on a marriage license that makes that a legal declaration.

And then the divorce laws of the state need to state if you checked that box you can never ever get divorced and any outside the marriage dalliances are punishable by fines and jail time. But even then, right back into the marriage you protected. No way out…protected.

That should fix this problem, right?

I’m sure all the conservative politicians and religious fundie preachers would be perfectly fine with it.

In other words, put your fucking ideals in place in your own damn life and world and stop checking what others are up to.

I think you can still get a “Covenant Marriage” (which isn’t even as draconian as your suggestion) in a couple states, but virtually no one wants them for themselves.
Restrictions are for other people.
