Exactly, it's a violation of the separation of church and state. Well put. I'm of the mindframe now (it could certainly change) that a certificate doesn't mean a person is more or less committed to you, largely because I don't think most people take marriage very seriously anymore. (I considered elaborating, but figured my post would get out of hand). To me, commitment means, by definition that you're there when things are hard. Perhaps I'm a bit of a cynic, but I think most people ought not to get married.

A lot of divorces happen because people don't actually think about what marriage really means. They reach a certain age, and decide that's it. It's the proper thing to do. So, of course, without any serious thought, it's easier to back out of those vows. I'm not saying I agree with it, or even that I'd never get married. I accept it's the way the majority of people think about the matter (if they realize it or not).
