In general there are two types: civil marriage and religious marriage, and typically marriages employ a combination of both (religious marriages must often be licensed and recognized by the state, and conversely civil marriages, while not sanctioned under religious law, are nevertheless respected).
The state of Arizona offers two types of marriage licenses to applicants: a traditional marriage license and a covenant marriage license. A covenant marriage, often rooted in religious tradition, requires premarital counseling before applying for a license.

Covenant and non-covenant marriages are the only two types of marital unions in the State of Arizona.

Covenant marriage is an approach to divorce reform that allows couples to opt for a marriage that is more difficult to end than the “standard” marriage granted in most states. It is completely voluntary, only available in a few states, and somewhat controversial.
It appears that, of the four stipulations of the marriage covenant – physical, emotional, conjugal, and sexual fidelity – it is in the continual disregard of sexual faithfulness that the marriage covenant is truly broken. Again, it must be recognized that it is the immorality that breaks the covenant, not the divorce.
