Are you looking for a way to shack up and say you are a Christian, or what is the deal? Just my uneducated opinion.

Miss Scarlett, I've covered most of that in my previous posts. Check them out.
By the way, there is no "law" requiring a couple to get a marriage license or even to have a civil marriage. In fact, something like 47% of adult Americans admit to having cohabitated with someone outside of civil marriage at some point in their lives. However, if one wants the benefits of this government program, they have to participate in the licensing and enter a civil contract with the state, giving the state full authority over their union.
