I heard this mentioned a few times that a marriage license gives permission for the state to have control over you your money and your children and that when you obtains a license you and your spouse marry in to a union between the three. (Man woman and state) Anyone else know something about this?

No. This is utter crap. Getting married (not obtaining the license--getting married) and having children creates certain obligations which are governed by the law of the state you live in. Things like the obligation to support your spouse and children, for example. However, neither the license nor the marriage makes the state a party to the marriage or gives the children to the state.

It is a load of BS.
This has nothing to do with a marriage license. Just being a citizen makes this 'true'.
Remember: "Nothing is sure but death and taxes." Well The first the state can do little about..we hope. The latter they do everything about. Also schooling is mandatory by the state. You live under the law of the country you live in and signing anything does not change that.
Ergo...weather you have a marriage license or not, the State can do that anyway.

As citizens the State already has control over all of us. A marriage license is necessary to have a legally binding marriage, which is necessary for things such as making emergency care decisions, intestate estates (when you die without a will- who the money goes to), as well as for tax purposes. A marriage license in no way gives the state any more control than it already has.

Where on earth did you hear that? If children are unsafe in any household, it doesn't married if the adults are married or just living together. A marriage license is a document. It allows for certain rights between two people that wouldn't be available if the two people were just living together. Marriage is for some, living together without marriage is for others.

I did some research online, in my own state and there is no mention of said.
It's been a very long time since I was married... and a long time since the divorce, but I would like some evidence to this.
I'm going to make a trip to the court house to read my license to see for sure. I'll be totally shocked if it's true.
If someone who answers this could provide a source for this information, I'd be grateful, too

Registered marriages with the state, yes your taxation bracket changes. But the whole your children becomes property of the state when married, nah I think when a birth certificate is created for a newborn baby thats when they become such.
