2. Federal Emergency Contact info
Is all the government should be concerned with. I am single by choice. I own property. I may become incapacitated so that somebody else must make decisions for me, etc., etc.

All the federal government should be concerned with is the orderly transfer of property and who has a legal right to make decisions on my behalf should I become unable to do so. Every citizen should have the right to fill out a form designating the person/persons who have rights and responsibilities in various circumstances.

Beyond being an economic relationship, marriage, as we know it, is a sexual relationship. The supreme court has already said that the government has no business in our bedrooms. Were we to have some sort of national emergency contact information, the involvement of government in marriage should be done away with entirely.
