"couples who choose covenant marriage are one-third less likely to get divorced within five years than couples who opt for the standard contract."

I hope the statisticians are more careful than this, but could this stat be the result of:

"[covenant marriage]otherwise allows divorce only after two years of separation."

So... was this factored in?
