    <select name="civil_status">
        <option value="" disabled {{ old('civil_status')? '' : 'selected' }}>Select a Civil Status</option>
        <option value="Married" @if (old('civil_status') == "Married") {{ 'selected' }} @endif>Married</option>
        <option value="Single" @if (old('civil_status') == "Single") {{ 'selected' }} @endif>Single</option>

You can do something like this in your edit.blade.php view:

<div class="input-field col s12 m6 l6 xl4 offset-xl2 ">
    <i class="material-icons prefix">person_outline</i>
    <select name="civil_status">
        <option value="" disabled {{ old('civil_status')? '' : 'selected' }}>Select a Civil Status</option>
        <option value="Married" {{ old('civil_status') == "married" || $toBeEdited->civil_status == "married" ? 'selected' : '' }}>Married</option>
        <option value="Single" {{ old('civil_status') == "Single" || $toBeEdited->civil_status == "Single" ? 'selected' : '' }}>Single</option>
        <option value="Divorced" {{ old('civil_status') == "Divorced" || $toBeEdited->civil_status == "Divorced" ? 'selected' : '' }}>Divorced</option>
        <option value="Widowed" {{ old('civil_status') == "Windowed" || $toBeEdited->civil_status == "married" ? 'selected' : '' }}>Widowed</option>
        <option value="Seperated" {{ old('civil_status') == "Separeted" || $toBeEdited->civil_status == "Separated" ? 'selected' : '' }}>Seperated</option>
    </select>
    <label>Civil Status</label>
</div>

You just need to pass the model to be edited to your view trough your controller, like this:

function edit($id)
{
    return view('edit', [
        'toBeEdited' => YourModel::find($id),
    ]);
}

Or you can use dependency injection in your edit function:

function edit(YourModel $model)
{
    return view('edit', [
        'toBeEdited' => $model,
    ]);
}

Now you have access to the model in your view as $toBeEdited variable.

Hope it helps.
