marriage is more on a tradition religious level.

Civil unions are like marriages, in that they are publicly recognised relationships that the state registers and issues a certificate for. Like marriage, civil unions will also give couples automatic access to hundreds of legal rights and responsibilities. Civil union couples can choose to have a special ceremony to mark the occasion with family and friends - if they wish. Unlike marriage however, civil unions will be open to both same-sex and different-sex couples, because there will not be any 'traditions' associated with them.

Civil unions will be another form of relationship recognition that exists in parallel to marriage. But unlike marriage, civil unions will be available for all couples. Civil unions won't be based on religion, or other traditional ideas about "couples".
