Best Answer

Religion did and does play a part in marriage. Man and woman get married to keep their legacy going, in other words, to have children, and if they truly love one another. In the church's eyes, homosexual marriage is a sin, but not so much anymore because it is legal in New York State.

A different view : Up untill the mid 1500's any body could get married in or out of a church all that was needed was mutual consent and the subsequent physical union of the parties. The couple would promise verbally to each other that they would be married to each other; the presence of a priest or witnesses was not required. Religion has only in recent centuries started to play a role - although many countries are rejecting this notion by placing the sanity of marriage in the hands of the state.
