"If a man and a man marry with a State marriage license, and a man and woman marry without a State marriage license - who’s really married? Is it the two men with a marriage license, or the man and woman without a marriage license? In reality, this contention that people are not really married unless they obtain a marriage license simply reveals how Statist we are in our thinking."
Taken from this article - 5 Reasons Why Christians Should Not Obtain a State Marriage License by Pastor Matt Trewhella
I don't agree with this author's perspective on same sex marriage - and would classify it as God does, sin. There is some interesting information regarding the history of the marriage license and the fight for those of color (or the lack thereof) to marry. The point is...marriage is not mandated by the State, it is a God given institution and should follow HIS rules/standards.
