You’re not getting it...

Marriage is a federal issue because the states are obliged to recognize each others’ marriages. The alternative is that you would have to resubmit for a marriage license every time you crossed state lines... and then you’d have multiple marriage licenses, creating all sorts of legal contests over jurisdiction in the event of separation.

No you wouldn't. Texas for example could recognize some, none or all other states marriage licenses. If you move to Texas, and they don't recognize your license, you could, get a Texas license, do nothing or not move to Texas. Or we could act like free adults and ask why we need permission from the government to get married?

I'm sorry if the Constitution is not as convenient as you would like, but it is worth it. You, me and everyone here are slowly trading freedom for convenience and one day we will all be slaves because of it.
