Holy Matrimony under Yahweh or a State Regulated Institution? Can it be both at the same time? Is a piece of paper required? Does a piece of paper issued by the state make a marriage Holy? Does a piece of paper issued by a church make a marriage valid? Can any state or church make God's gift illegal?
But from the beginning of the creation יהוה [Yahweh, our god] made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore יהוה hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mark 10:6-9
