The Constitution does not contain anything about marriage in the Federal sphere — at all.

We do not make government smaller by expanding it to cover marriage. This is something the states should handle, period.

Yes, all true. Only problem is as with divorce in prior times (say the 1920s and ‘30s) or abortion if some states legalize something, others follow suit and then as time passes it becomes a uniform, national thing. And then federal.
