Not to be a stickler, but why does the church get to "keep" the term
Marriage?
Mainly, in my mind, because it is probably slightly easier to change the minds
of a bunch of bureaucrats then it is to change the minds of all the various
religious leaders.

They don't.
I think the term "married" should apply to two people who have a legal
marriage license with a State.
You are not married until you have that license. Wait, except for common law
heh. But anyway, if you have a Catholic wedding, but don't obtain and sign a
marriage license...you aint m

The church doesn't have a say in it. The people however do.

And many churches are quite willing to participate in marrying gays.

Much like "culture of life" is shorthand for "no abortions, assisted
suicide or living wills, but war and the death penalty are just fine,
thanks."

Which brings the whole deal full circle, at least for me. Marriage is
somewhat defined as a legal contract, or at least it seems, since all
these states have legislation regarding marriage, so what e
Additionally, lets say you live in Nebraska, and want to marry the person you
live with. You can rent an apartment in Kansas for one month, move in with your
sweetie, declare that you are "married", then move back to Nebraska, and they
will legally recognized your common law marriage from Kansas
Which brings up another very interesting question Rayif religious
zealots are so hell bent on preventing gay marriages because they are an
afront to their moral beliefshow the hell can they ignore these common
law marriages?
I can move in with whomever I want, as long as she's female, and

Yea, I always thought there was some kind of time value that needed to
be met, like 5 or 7 years or something. Until I read that site.
So...does it work the same way for gay couples? *That* would make

This common law stuff is really frickin' goofy. All you have to do to become
legally married, is live together and claim in public "we are married".
BOOM. You are afforded all the rights of a couple with a marriage license
(that they had to PAY for, I might add).
Additionally, lets say you live in
New Hampshire's on that list. Dammit, there goes my out. (although it
does say "for inheritance purposes only"...)

What I found weird reading this stuff, though, is that if you live in a
common law state, you live with a significant other, and you joke with
people that you are "

besides, in many states cohabitating under the same name (e.g. playing
married) makes you common-law anyway.
Washington provides for some hefty bonuses in the case of a common-law
break-up...

I just read about something like this in a newspaper advice column. A lady was
worried that her marriage in Mexico was not valid in the states. According to
the columnist, the US, or at least LA, recognizes Mexican marriage licenses. I

Yea, it sounds funny, but here's the story:
My wife and I got married in St. Lucia back in '04, we got the marriage
license and all that crap while we were on the island, got married by an
"official" (don't know what they call them there, JP, whatever).
My father-in-law called my wife yesterday
