I dont think the word marriage is important since it for the church but what I want is the rights given to those that are married.  I would prefer that the government uses a different word for legal rights of two people that come together.  A simple fix would be to change all government and legal documents that are for married couples and change the word to Unionized and that any couple could get unionized by the government and if a couple then want to be married by a church and have the whole service its up to them and their church.
