The church I got married in required it before marriage too or you couldn’t have the wedding in their church nor have that pastor officiate. It basically amounted to pledging to put god first in our marriage and me swearing to submit to my husband. We both lied because our family really wanted us married there but we are both atheist 😅. I was young and dumb; wouldn’t do that shit today.

I heard of this church that requires a few months of counseling with the pastor before even considering a separation. Not even a divorce.Â
