Reply to Civil marriage is a flawed premise in Marriage JoeUser Forums

The state of marriage or civil unions did not matter to the church or the state until money could be made from it. First the church used it to receive money to perform the rite and then once governments decided that families were a good way to tax people the government got involved because it was important to how much tax was charged. Today it is important for the same two reason but because inheritance and access is granted based on marriage it has become a problem for gays.&nb
