If anything, the Facebook gods would have some say over it. Marriage would be just like saying 'in a relationship.' You don't need any documents; it's just a status that you, your spouse, and other people acknowledge.

And that's why the government can't get out of marriage. To do so would cause too much chaos for a true society to operate appropriately.

What those in government and people need to realize that marriage is just another form of a legal entity partnership...like a business.

When the government decides to look at all marriages as a civil union instead of marriage here, civil union there, that will stop the issue entirely.

And when the government starts treating marriage like a civil union legal entity partnership...it should come with all the advantages, and penalties of being in that partnership.

And the penalties for the dissolution of that partnership should come with tough enough penalties to make people think twice about having a government recognized civil union.
