Ah, the famous Intra-state transfer of illegal goods or activities.... Good put those corporations out of business for pushing across state borders their illegal activities from adjacent or nearby states.

Yup. God created marriage because we, created in His image, are not animals. Only an arrogant, corrupt, reprobate mind would attempt to redefine God’s plan.
“Marriage licenses go way back and there are situations such as the military where being legally recognized as married matters.”
As far as the government is concerned it’s a tax issue. The Gov’t wants a cut of the action.

If .gov legalized marriage to cats and dogs they could rake in the cash...
“God created marriage because we, created in His image, are not animals. Only an arrogant, corrupt, reprobate mind would attempt to redefine God’s plan.”
Governments who collect taxes over the holy matrimony are exactly that - arrogant corrupt and of reprobate-mindedness and they are redefining God’s plan by taxing this god-given blessing.

It is much more than that, a marriage has to be known as legal, for instance for military pensions and survivor pensions.

Your assumptions are not correct.
Military pensions are a percentage of base pay for time served over 20 years. Not allowances (dependants are an allowance calculation).
Survivor benefits are paid into by the retiree. If the retiree and the spouse decide not to pay into it... it doesn’t exist. It’s something like term life insurance.
Medical insurance is also paid into.
No such thing as “gay” or “gay marriage”.
I’m not talking about whatever the new policy is, I meant in our history and the military was just an example, people have had to know if a person was married to the other person for a lot of reasons.
Licenses long predate America, Washington and Jefferson paid for licenses, Revolutionary widows had to prove their marriage to a dead soldier.
