From what I gather... GOVERNMENT is almighty and defines marriage.
I have no issue with not getting government benefits. I'm a libertarian. I don't agree that it's the government's role to dole out benefits wherein two citizens are viewed differently from another two citizens. However, I believe in private contract.
Essentially... privatized marriage is also much like common law marriage. Which is... a "legal" marriage in some states. No church or government necessary. Courts only needed if the couple can't agree on their dissolution should they divorce.
Limit government. Statists don't get this concept.
