That's a good idea.
I've posted before about my thoughts on the gay marriage issue. In short, I think that (a) the government has no valid reason to know my marital status (b) marriage is a church rather than a state issue, so the government shouldn't be handing out marriage licenses at all.
I like Sensing's idea, in part because it clearly draws the line between the state and the church. His plan still leaves some government involvement in marriage, which I don't like, but we can take things one step at a time.
(As a side note, I wonder how the government got involved in marriage in the first place. Are there any countries in which the government is not involved in sanctioning marriage?)
