Possible solution for marriage

The main argument I see nowadays against gay marriage is the fact that it goes against your religion. Well, I've come up with a solution: seperate federal and religious marriage completely.

Basically, couples that are federally married will enjoy all the political and economic benefits currently married couples get from the government. However, the church would not have to recognize this type of marriage.

Religious marriage is purely done by religious institutions. Religiously married couples enjoy all the benefits their faith gives them for being married (not sure if there are that many). However, they do not get any additional government benefits that federally married couples don't get. Religiously married couples are automatically federally married.

Thoughts/questions?

So, you're solution is the seperation of church and state.

Yeah, but in a way that satisfies both parties.

That might actually work. It seems as if it would benefit both parties, anyway...

I completely agree. It's actually a much-discussed idea.

Yeah, doesn't really matter what it's called. But what would they put on the back of the car, "Just Civilly United"?

It's an important matter which i believe is not addressed and supported enough.

I hate that phrase. IMO, a civil union is a hater's term for gay marriage..

I agree that seems like such a simple yet ingenious solution. :|

Knowing you, you'll probably come up with something to bypass that law. :angel:

I think that is a wonderful idea. And RFB, marriage is the union of two people as one. I see no reason why they can't be classified as married.
