Churches marry, too. The state is only involved because property is involved--but you're right--it doesn't need to be.

Covenant > contract.

My Dad and step-Mom did this; church only, no State.

Sadly, it is still wise to have some third party involved to handle disputes over property (or, tragically, children) in cases of infidelity or abandnment. We still live in a fallen world, and not every relationship has a fairy-tale ending.

In cases of infidelity or abandonment, the man can be dragged into court for his wrong-doing.
