You are correct. But, since SO many Americans divorce, it HAS to be about money, child custody, alimony...and who controls it. It all starts with the first and worst of the seven deadly sins: PRIDE (arrogance).
It doesn't really matter what the state says or does as EACH and EVERY ONE OF US knows what is right in God's eyes. They also know that "permission" from the state may give them a few moments of "whoopee" here and now but THE DAY WILL COME when they have to answer to our good Lord and His judgment.
There WILL be a reckoning!
HIS judgment will be for ETERNITY.
I think the majority just take the state’s current version as the definition of marriage. And more fall in line as the decades pass and the state keeps whatever application of marriage was controversial. Otherwise why did all the religious groups that accepted ‘gay marriage’ wait until the state they happened to be in also accepted it before they married their gay members? And look at how many say things like ‘the state accepting gay marriage will destroy marriage?’
