Because back in the day, politicians thought that only family-creating unions should get benefits.
And the Christians thought that the government wanted to follow God. Stupid stupid stupid. So the Christians let the government define what a marriage is. And sure enough when it did not conform to God's laws, most Christians became confused and thought that God was fine with divorce, Vegas marriages, and a host of other things the government has allowed. And when DOMA was announced, those Christians prayed to God to keep their government sacred, but the government was already deep into heresy. The Christians were told by God that they need only put their faith in Him and He will bless their union as marriage. The people said that it was not enough and they wanted the government to agree with them. So they bound their definition of marriage to the government instead of to God. And just as God destroyed the temple in the old testament, the Christians are now confused in thinking that the government defines a blessed marriage. And now there are churches that hold marriages that conform to the government and not to God. Those churches are perishing. The Christians who put their faith in government are weeping, and they are fearful for they think God is being overcome. They also struggle with unfaithful marriages. But the Christians who sought to please God first have no fear, do not weep for government, and their marriages and churches are strong in God alone.
What does your marriage certificate say at the top? The state of California? The state of Texas? The state of Florida? Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. God's marriage certificate was written at the beginning of history and has no bearing on what the government has you sign.
