Relying on gubberment to defend something as important as marriage hasn’t worked, at least in my opinion.

While that is true, that is no excuse or justification for not trying to have government defend it.

Government used to defend it when there were laws restricting the attacks on it, but thanks to special interest groups and the libertarian mindset, it isn't any more and would be prohibited from it if they had their way.

Well, I would say that it is only a matter of time before gubberment messes up something it is involved with. If it hasn’t yet, give it time.

“...but thanks to special interest groups and the libertarian mindset...”

The institution of marriage should never have been put in a position where those things influencing gubberment could hurt marriage. I bet if marriage was left up to religions you wouldn’t have so many folks willing to believe something impossible can exist (gay marriage) just because gubberment says it does.
