Marriage

Government should not be in the business of defining personal relationships including marriage. Neither the federal government nor the states should define what a marriage is. The government should enforce private contracts between individuals. If people wish to be married through the rules of their church the government should enforce that set of rules. If consenting adults wish to enter into any non-coerced contractual arrangement should be allowed to do so. The government should only act as an enforcer of those contracts regardless of the terms.
