Many folks see it as just another lousy government contract that can be broken and resumed as long as government says so. Also, many seem to be conditioned think that marriage comes from the govenment, to the point they easily accept impossibilities like “gay marriage” as long as the governmnet says it can exist.
Do you think a piece of paper from the gov’t makes two people married? Who is more married, a man and a woman who are married in their faith or two men with a piece of paper from the government?
If marriage was controlled by folk’s faiths, I don’t think that so many would accept the impossibility of “gay marriage” today.

If people were controlled by their faith we wouldn’t need divorce courts, civil marriage or government for that matter. And if the Good Lord would just let us back into the Garden of Eden we wouldn’t need clothes!
