Marriage is first a private promise between two people to remain faithful partners. Some feel the need to make this promise publicly. Others also involve their faith. Government got into the marriage business mainly because of the need to regulate property and other financial issues when the parnership prematurely dissolves through a broken promise or by death. None of the above provisions need be precluded to the application of a promise made by individuals of the same sexual orientation as they would have similar benefit.
