It's still tied to the government.


Just so people understand anyone that signs a marriage license or state marriage certificate forms a corporation with the state, that's why when people get divorced the person that files is suing to dissolve the state contract of marriage/corporation.


So many people do not understand what marriage even is. Do some legwork and search Google.


A true religion, or church should never allow government involvement in the sacrament of marriage. The highest law is God, but the churches have sold out as non-profits and wish to keep their status, so they are in bed with the government.


A marriage in a church, without being forced to sign the state mandated licenses are the best route, some true followers of Christ/God still marry without the darkness of states, lawyers, and scumbags involvement.


So the trick words, or keywords are "legally married" And the answer is who cares. Why should it have to be legal, unless you've been brainwashed into thinking you need to.

Stupid people get stupid prizes...............and most times it's more than half of their assets.
