Sultan is dead on. Marriage is nothing more than a legally binding financial merger, and it should be treated as a merger, not a union of lovers. In the eyes of the law, what role does love play? None.
As a side point, even the Law should not be able to tell you morally what you can and can’t do in your own home.
In response to Azred, I think adding love to a marriage is in fact doing something you suggested against, making it more complicated.
Where law concerns marriage, the only factor to be considered should be the willingness of the two parties involved. Same sex, different sex, and even people of the same family should be allowed to enter into a state of union.
When speaking of religious unions, those decisions are individual to each belief. Here is where it should matter.
I am of the opinion that, where the government is telling others marriage is not legal between two consenting adults (And this is the only parameter I find just), they are once again failing to separate church and state.
