Navigating Modern Marriage Laws

Topic Suggestion/Request:
Navigating Modern Marriage Laws

Reasoning:
For those of us who aspire to marry one day, how should we go about navigating laws regarding marriage? For example, what is your opinion on prenuptial agreements in light of 80% of divorces being initiated by women? Is it permissible to be de-facto married (rightly-ordered) without involving the state in your marriage (e.g., getting a marriage license)? Do you think it would be worth moving to a state with better marriage laws? For example, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Arizona permit “covenant marriages” that enable the married couple to legally waive the possibility of no-fault divorce, permitting divorce only in cases of adultery or abandonment.
