You will find in my post that I referred to "I" and the religious oath which I took. Whatever other religions believe or not has nothing to do with it. I explain why the religious aspect of my marriage is sacred to me, whilst the secular part is little more than a contract. This is what informs my opinion.
Allied to comments like your own, that you are marrying for the rights which come with it. (Which I agree you shoud have anyway). How can that possibly be considered sacred. Pragmatic, indeed but not sacred.
