What is covenant marriage?

[13thLilyOfTheValley]

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?

Neither Covenant Marriage nor Marriage Covenant are expressly mentioned in Scripture.

[Leonardo Von]

After sexual relationship, both turned into one flash:

 

• "What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh." (1Cor 6:16)

 

Therefore, they are married.
