Marriage is ordained by God. Ordained means it was instituted by him, enacted by him, it's his law.
My belief is that since God ordained marriage therefore we don't have any right to change it. Making it different in any way than what God established makes it something else. It's not marriage any more.
Given that God ordained marriage it seems to me that governments should have no business with it. Governments don't tell churches how people should be baptized, for example. If a government wants to recognize unions between people then go for it, but don't call it marriage. Leave that to the churches.
