I’ve tried to explain this for 30 years. Your preacher marries you. This is what marriage is: a contract between two people and God. The fact that the state chooses to recognize this arraignment is secondary. But, even preachers are ignorant of the concept of marriage, and most won’t even perform a ceremony without a marriage “license.” People are just plain stupid, and that is why we suffer.
“The fact that the state chooses to recognize this arraignment is secondary.” LOL!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not sure if it’s an
“I saw what you did there” typo,
but it sure is the most delicious Miss Spelling I’ve read in a LONG time!
LOL!!!!!!

It can't be your message, can it?
Marriage is a sacrament, a gift from God.
As far as the state recognizing the ‘contract’, I do believe it should be put in writing just like a business. If you understand what you’re getting into, you’re more likely to be serious. It lessens the emotional toll, saves so much time in the courts,and a lot of taxpayer dollars.
Only the people who want their marriage recognized by law, comply with the laws, nobody forces you to do that, and in fact many Americans do have their own private marriages, without com[plying with law.
If you don't care if it is recognized by the government, then don't, do what you want.
