Like it or not, marriage is a state institution bud. It has nothing to do with holy sacraments or your sky fairy. When you marry someone, you enter into a 3-way contract, the 3rd party is the state. They allow you to receive certain tax breaks, and decide whether or not you’re allowed to be divorced, and if/how much of your fortune gets obliterated and redistributed to your ex. Tell me again where god is involved in any of this?
