This is the main reason that the word marriage needs to be taken away from government. The word marriage needs to be applied only to people who go to church support it and want to enguage in a real marriage. Everyone else just needs some kind of legal status like a civil union or something like that.

Ha, while I agree that the government has no business in the marriage business, I don't think the "church" is going to alter the statistics of cheating. Take the case of the married(now ex-) minister I know who had a fling (and a baby by) one of the married church workers.
