its not marriage equality. its homosexual couples marriage.

anyway, i just wish the state would get out of marriage. its not the governments job.

This. I do disagree with the second statement, though. Marriage has a legal side as well, and legal matters belong to the government. It's kind of another matter if you wish to strip away the legal side from marriage.

It can be like any other private contract between two individuals. Government's job is only to enforce the contract in court once it's breached/settle an agreement. 

Don't such contracts usually require lawyers and such to be reliable? I find it a good idea to have a ready template for such a contract. And what about kids? I doubt a 'marriage contract' is suitable for normal people that don't understand legal stuff all that well.
