Yes, because the truest expression of love is a binding government contract... /Marge SimpsonIn your world, marriage may well be a government contract.
Of course, in the real world, no marriage is a government contract since the government is not a contracting party.
And marriage is first and foremost a sacrament - the contractual aspect of it is a housekeeping detail, not its essence or purpose.

Of course, in the real world, no marriage is a government contract since the government is not a contracting party.
If that's the case, then why do you care if the government gets involved in whether or not a couple is married? Since marriage is first and foremost a sacrament, and if the contractual aspect of it is a housekeeping detail, not its essence or purpose, why bother having the government involved at all?
