Marriage is a ceremony and it can continue to be whatever it is to people. I just dont see what the secular legal license term has to do with the ceremony itself. If it is for religious reasons, are people faith so fragile that they need a govermental document certifying it - I guess that goes hand in hand with the 50% divorce rate.
I dont know about you, but I dont know many women who dream of getting a marriage license, they dream of the marriage ceremony. I guess I am the minority in thinking that a small name change on the license would solve this whole mess. Its really sad IMO that we spend time talking about this when it could be solved so easily.
