President Bush once said that marriage is a sacred institution and should be reserved for the union of one man and one woman. If this is the case - and most Americans would agree with him on this - then I have to ask: Why is the government at all involved in marrying people?

Summary

This quote questions the role of the government in overseeing marriages, based on President Bush's belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. The quote infers that if marriage is viewed as a sacred institution, the government's involvement in this personal matter seems unnecessary. It raises doubts about why the government should dictate or regulate who can marry, as many people would agree with the traditional definition of marriage stated by President Bush.
