Regardless if it is by government, marriage is a covenant. It is not to be taken lightly.
I agree entirely. However, I'd point you to the observation I made early in this thread - that Scripturally there's no notion of a "marriage service" in the way in which we understand it today in western society; and that being the case, is there Scripturally a need for a marriage service (in a church building, performed by an ordained minister) for two people to be recognised as married by God? Are they not capable of making such a covenant for themselves in front of God?
David.
