Why is the Gooferment involved in marriage?
Separation of Church and State should be absolute.
Shouldn’t the correct civil form of marriage be two person LLC?
(A church service could be inaddition to a legal proceeding?)
Then we don’t need marriage licenses with all the attending bureaucrats, divorce courts with all the attending politicians and bureaucrats pontificating on marital issues (i.e., race; same sex; different sex).
Child custody issues could be mediated with certain norms (i.e., 50/50 unless one is unfit).
Finances would be just like when a partnership dissolves.
Homes held by the LLC could be sold or “bought out”.
No need for messy expensive public divorces.
No need for “common law marriages” or just shacking up.
Seem reasonable to me.
