I would like to know what the Bible calls covenant marriage. Some say if a marriage is held in a Church i.e inviting Jesus to this union, it is a covenant marriage. Some say if two consummate it makes covenant. Some say a marriage that is done in a Church and consummated is a covenant marriage.
If a believer falls for a non-believer and gets married in a civil court or somewhere other than church but for some reasons they couldn’t consummate the marriage, will this be called a covenant marriage? 2nd question sometime after their marriage the non-believing spouse also becomes believer but still they couldn’t consummate, will this still qualify for covenant marriage? 3rd question shall either of these divorce their spouse stating non-consummation as a reason according to Bible?
