Your government at work.

I wonder if the same people who are so concerned with protecting the "definition of marriage" as it pertains to other marriage-related issues would be bothered at all with the government defining different types of marriage... Regular ho-hum "I love you and I plan to spend the rest of my life with you" marriage, and the improved "I love you and I plan to spend the rest of my life with you FOR REALZ" marriage.

I can imagine proposals in the future...

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes. Is it a covenant marriage?"

"Well, I don't want to get THAT married."

"Oh, great, so you want an easy way out if you change your mind?"

"No I just..."

"Oh whatever, just put that cubic zirconia ring on my finger and let's call our parents."
