Why does government sanction Marriage in the 1st place. Why not put everyone under civil partnerships?

Would that not end the whole debate. And keep religion out of it.Why does government sanction Marriage in the 1st place. Why not put everyone under civil partnerships?
Because many people believe in the sanctity of marriage and that marriage is between a man and woman and that is the way God sanctified the union.





There is no logical reason whatsoever that marriage should be considered valid other than between a man and woman.

Why does government do it that way? I don't know other than to say it is a tradition. Would it end the debate for government to change the way it treats relationships and call everybody's relationship a civil partnership? ..... I don't know if that would END the debate. Throwing out a centuries-old tradition is not easily done and not without a lot of teeth-gnashing and temper-tantrum-throwing.





Keep religion out of debate? Riiiiiiiiight. That'll NEVER happen.
Marriage is a legal term as far as government is concerned, it is not about religion at all. In fact get married in a church ceremony with first getting a marriage license from you local county and then try to claim legal married status as far as filing your taxes, etc. It would work.
