For me marriage is a spiritual/religious issue. Involving God and two people becoming one flesh.
A marriage license is voluntary. A contract that puts the state in-charge. The state allows divorce for almost any reason. Usurping God's command that only fornication is a reason for divorce concerning believers.
Now we see the state usurping God's authority allowing same sex marriage. Are they really married? They have a government license.
I believe it should be governed by the church, for believers that is.
The Catholic church doesn't even acknowledge a justice of the peace marriage. Spiritual reasoning?
Licensing took off after the civil war over interracial marriage.
Did you watch the videos?
Thanks for your input.
