Don't ever let lawyers minimize it. They put money before God's plan. .

How does removing state regulation of marriage harm the covenant? I think it's silly to have to get a piece of paper from the government to validate a sacred union before God.
Divorce isn't about a union...it's the destruction of a union, so the courts are sought out to make it fair for both parties regarding children and property. That isn't an "ungodly" view; that's a factual view of the divorce process.
