Civil marriage is not simply approval of an intimate sexual relationship. Civil marriage bestows 1,138 government recognized benefits:
According to the Government Accounting Office, "[A]s of December 31, 2003, our research identified a total of 1,138 federal statutory provisions classified to the United States Code in which marital status is a factor in determining or receiving benefits, rights, and privileges." http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d04353r.pdf
