The govt must remain in control of marriage given its stellar record.

The government doesn’t “control” marriage, it is only to recognized it for what marriage is, has always been, throughout the millennia.
Government NEVER controlled marriage. Marriage was between a man, woman, and a preacher where the only record might be entered in the Family Bible.
Some people had “common law” marriages until a circuit preacher came around. No license required.
Then a bureaucrat in the early 1800s decided people needed to ask the government’s permission to marry and forced people to get a license.
We still know real marriage is between a man and a woman. Sodomite “marriage” is nothing but the illusion of marriage where two of the same sex shack up till they get tired of each other.
