The government should completely back out of the buissness of marriage. It should allow 2 consenting adults to enter into a Civil Union regardless of sex that gives all the benefits that marriage currently gives couples including living marital trusts and joint tax filings.
Marriage would be in the arena of the churches and other religious groups. Thus they can make the choice weather to allow someone to be married and use of their clergy or facilities. Since many people claim marriage is a sanctify and a religious origin it should not have a place in our government which separates church and state.
The church should take a more active role in taking back marriage. It could then put more ardent restrictions on the term, not allowing divorce (although the state issues legal civil union could be disolved) or requiring children at some point or another.
