Christine Todd Whitman has the marriage issue solved
Yesterday I saw her on some show, and she actually suggested what I have believed to be the answer, for a very long time..
"Marriage" is two things..
(paraphrasing from her interview)
People legitimize their togetherness at a courthouse.."I choose this person to inherit, to make legal decisions for me when I cannot, to coparent any children we may have/adopt, to receive survivorship benefits I have, etc."
THEN
IF THEY WANT TO, they go to any church that will have them, and have a religious ceremony and the frills that go with it.
It solves almost all the problems
