39. If it's between you and God, then why did you feel the need to take out a marriage license?

You can have a ceremonial marriage in the church of your choice - and then it truly would have been between you and God.

Once you take that ceremonial marriage and register it with the state, it ALSO becomes essentially a 3-party contract with the state, from which you (and any other married couple) benefit.

It is just fine if your church doesn't want to marry same-gender couples. But it isn't fine when you exclude same gender couples from the legal benefits that registering with the state provides.
