We could all enter into the same civil contract. We've made marriage into a legal contract, but that wasn't so in the beginning. To a christian, marriage isn't making a legal contract, but rather committing ourselves to each other, which needs no sanctioning from a civil authority. The legal contract isn't the marriage, but I also understand the need for a legal contract to protect the interests of the couple and children involved.How is that even relevant to how things are now in this word at this period in time and not some idealized world?
