I have to respectfully disagree. The argument was lost when government got involved and was made the ultimate authority on marriage. This is the perfect example of social conservatives gone wrong.

Supposedly small government “conservatives” set up a system of government authority using laws and rules derived by politicians to provide special benefits to those who engage in what is essentially a special interest activity. And now that the authority is used by opponents of marriage to destroy it, “conservatives” cry foul.

Government should have no role in marriage. Why does one need the blessing of government for the joining of two people before God?

The domestic court system and the rules and laws the govern marriage in this country are corrupt. And like all corrupt systems they eventually fail.

That is a silly post, when do you think formal "legal" marriage first emerged in America, or in history, or in all societies everywhere?

Rome? Greece? Tribes whether European, or Indian, or Asian?

You are right about America being created by social conservatives, they are the only humans that could create such a free nation, but when do you think that they didn't have the concept and practice of a "legal" marriage?
