Marriage and Divorce Laws question?

What would be the problem with having uniform marriage and divorce laws throughout the United States?

Update:

@ Ryde-on, you must be a "tea bagger," literally. This question was asked for a class assignment.

You shouldn't be so quick to judge.

    Since "Most" marriages are a religious ceremony theres that clause in the Constitution of separation of Church and State that would create a hell of a mess with the constitutionality of it.

    the place do you pass to church? u . s . a . Christians do no longer say something? perhaps you meant that some u . s . a . Christians do no longer say something. i'm a member of a three thousand member church and we've heard in many circumstances from the pulpit what the Bible says approximately God's rules of marriage and divorce. in case you violate God's rules, you are able to repent and ask forgiveness. in case you violate mans rules, you are able to the two pay a great or pass to penal complex. we've never insisted that our marriage rules shop on with God's rules, and that's the topic.

    Just this little thing called the Constitution. You know, that little document that limits the power of the Federal Govt. opting instead to leave many important decisions to the individual states.

    I suppose you are one of those Libs who don't want to be bothered by the Constitution.

    Big Government is not the answer to everything. Most of us believe that states should have the right to govern themselves in these matters as their citizens please. What's good for a New Yorker might not be good for a Georgian or an Arizonan or an Idahoan, and vice versa.
