The federal and state regulations that are either for or against equal opportunity marriages are a clear violation of the United States Constitution first amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...."
Citing a clear definition of marriage and recognizing it as a religious practice would lead to cessation of current laws regulating marriage.
Federal assessment of Domestic Partnership and Civil Unions could then be amended to one official legal bond that would include full privileges, legal responsibilities, and recognitions that are currently part of marriage but not incorporated into these.
