Marriage becomes a federal issue if citizens of one state try to compel another state to recognize their relationship.

That doesn't make the subject matter a federal issue. It only means upholding the full faith and credit of the state from which its citizen(s) journey to another state.

The "full faith and credit" clause gives Congress substantial authority to determine the effect of one state's actions in another state.
