what about civil unions?    There has to be some way for the law to recognize a spouse as next of kin.   

 I suppose I phrased that badly, but I don't think governments should be involved with marriage any further than recognizing it.

what about recognizing gay marriage?

I think in this case gay marriage should be recognized (though don't quote me for it, I change my mind daily and I am undecided on the matter), but I would say it should be up to the organizations to decide whether or not they will marry these people.

Ideally, I think that their should be organizations/businesses who perform marriages/unions akin to funeral homes arranging funerals and memorial services.

I would assume this would include churches.

 Yes, marriages in churches would be recognized.
