When we separated church and state, marriage should have stayed with the church. You have a Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or whatever marriage and that's it. No legalities, no tax breaks, no cheap health insurance. Back when the church ran the state they made rules about marriage that could be enforced. People liked this and carried the rules into the state (the church can't enforce anything anymore). Marriage should be for religious folks to make their commitment before God and their brothers. Not some one sided legal contract that would be laughed out of court if made between anyone except husband and wife.
Don't even start me on the subject of health insurance. Bunch of paper pushing thieves!
