The issue is marriage is a religious custom- those religions get to decide what marriage is. The government should not be in the business of licensing, taxing and regulating a religious practice. Additionally marriage should not afford you special benefits from the government. Marriage isn’t theirs to change.
Interesting thought. I’ve never thought of this. Maybe marriage should be completely privatized, and every couple’s taxes should be lowered to the bracket as if you were filing as a Single.

OR we could just give couples tax cuts based on how many kids they have
