If folks trying to get married were not men and women, no marriage. If there were multiple partners, those with guilty knowledge go to jail. That pretty much preserves the traditional family.
Indeed, when government has tried to take a hands off approach, like with no fault divorce, it has led to a radically increased break-up in families.

That sounds like a statistical approach. More marriages not resulting in divorce is not necessarily a preservation of strong families.
You wrote: "If folks trying to get married were not men and women, no marriage." I proposed leaving that responsibility to the churches. Can we trust the government to uphold that standard, more than we can trust the churches? I think not.
