Re: Marriage Rejuvenation?

I contend that marriage is a natural right, and a couple has a natural right, under natural law, to enter covenant before God without involving the government.

Natural Law:
Natural law (Latin: ius naturale, lex naturalis) is a philosophy asserting that certain rights are inherent by virtue of human nature endowed by nature; traditionally God or a transcendent source, and can be understood universally through human reason. As determined by nature, the law of nature is implied to be universal existing independently of the positive law of a given state, political order, legislature or society at large.

Think about this. The government requires a marriage "license" before it will recognize a marriage. A license is permission to do that which is illegal. No license was needed prior to all this. Where does government get the right to make marriage illegal?

Your marriage is illegal. Everyone's marriage is illegal. That's why you needed a license to get the government to recognize it.

It's an assault on our natural rights.
