In the issue of marriage, I don't really see how it came about that the Government is allowed to say who is married and who is not in the first place.
I think it should stay out of my marriage.
With this said, Erick and I both think what would be best would be to allow the government to announce all marriages as civil unions, and give the power of marriage back to God and the church.
What is it the State's business to tell me who and where and when and blah blah?
This is just a fleeting thought. I haven't had any dissent on this thought, so I'm not sure how it would work in actual practice. But, I like a lot of ideas that keep the government out of my life. Marriage should begin with God.
That's all that matters.
