Marriage - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee Covenant Marriage Act" to create covenant marriage, which is entered into by one male and one female, who understand and agree that marriage is a lifelong relationship; permits a spouse in a covenant marriage to obtain a judgment of divorce under certain circumstances. - Amends TCA Title 8; Title 10; Title 16; Title 36; Title 39; Title 67 and Title 68.

HB 315 creates "covenant marriage" in Tennessee as a voluntary option for couples who commit to a lifelong marital relationship. To enter a covenant marriage, couples must complete premarital counseling emphasizing lifelong commitment, sign a specific declaration (including a written promise to preserve marriage), and file it with the county clerk. Divorce is only permitted if one spouse proves the other committed a "complete and total breach" of the marital covenant, unlike regular divorce which has broader grounds. This applies to new marriages starting July 1, 2025, and existing marriages that later choose to convert to covenant status.
