If I may jump in, I think it makes a certain amount of sense, IF marriage is a religious union. we can't tell churches who they are allowed to marry. - loosilu Nov 11, 14:22 6
- marriage has a government aspect and, if one chooses, a religious aspect. The legal fight ongoing is for legal recognition. - ty97 Nov 11, 14:29
- and, as i've said, you can't be *married* without a government issued license, so, it's really NOT a religious act in this day and age. - Andie Remembers Nov 11, 14:26 4
  - Yes, you can. I have no government issued marriage license. Publication of banns. -- nm - VMan Nov 11, 14:30 1
    - you have no marriage license? what do you use to prove that you are, you know, married? -- nm - Andie Remembers Nov 11, 14:32
  - Also consider the concept of marriage pre-dates most religions -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 11, 14:30 1
    - essentially it was a business arrangement, an exchange of property, if you will... - znufrii Nov 11, 14:33

semantics -- nm - Dano Nov 11, 14:19 4
- Which is why I'm now in favor of the idea that the government should not do marriages for anyone, only civil unions. -- nm - Dano Nov 11, 14:22 3
