The Top 8 Ways To Be 'Traditionally Married' According To The Bible

[jp11]

11. I know nothing of marriage definitions in the bible

but I suspect some or perhaps many of the examples are not definitions in any way just stories or ways to present rules which are not always related to marriage.

The simple point is why is the government (separation of church and state) backing what some churches/religious organizations dictate a marriage is while still other churches/religious organizations are being denied the ability to have marriage as they see fit.

The simple thing is some churches would perform services for same sex couples, why is the government in the business of saying they are not legal but opposite sex marriages are?
