History? You mean like the last 10,000 years? That kind of history?
You are confused, common law marriage is legal because it's a fact, not because they want it that way. The state may point a gun at you and tell you it's a privilege, but that doesn't make it so.
I don't need any government clerk or lawmaker to tell me if I'm married or not. I'm married because of promises I made before God, not some legal nonsense the government does.
This whole thing is about money.

4. The information I provided is accurate:
