What about it? People can sign documents to confirm they are married if they want to. It doesn't have to be done via the government.

Take away the religious aspects and all that's left is the legal commitment and financial benefits that the marriage contract provides (which are actually outweighed by the high cost of living as a family). Which means... take government out of marriage and all you have left are roommates that have sex with each other.
Not true. Take the government out of marriage and you have a bond between two people who love each other. Are you honestly saying that the government is the only reason that makes marriage special?
