Linda and Larry Drain have been married for 33 years but are now forced to separate because of the pitfalls of Obamacare and their state Medicaid program .
Stuck in a health care coverage gap, their combined income is too little to qualify for Obamacare subsidies yet exceeds the limit on unearned income to qualify for TennCare after Larry opted for early retirement.
Linda has epilepsy and must take expensive medication so she can’t do without insurance. Larry is without insurance but he has a hernia and is living on hope that he suffers no complications as he can’t afford surgery.
They have been appealing to Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam in numerous letters to expand TennCare.
CONTINUE PAGE 2:
Are you getting married, or is your straw man getting married? A corporate merger with which you need permission from the board members and upper management, i.e. The church and state. And the church being a 501 C 3 corp. in most instances which means their existence is owed to a “STATE.”
Why do you need a Contract? Don’t you Trust her? If not, Don’t do it!
I’m still learning, but I was thinking I should have something that was private without the state included, but would hold up in court if it became convenient or profitable for the surviving spouse.
Agreement (consent) make the marriage. You can certainly make a ‘contract’ if you like, which is something akin to prenuptial agreement. However you can’t get any higher than you own ‘word’ and actions as evidence of honoring that ‘word’ with the one you love.
Use trusts to set this up then. This is the way you avoid court issues. Place everything in trust and the holder (surviving spouse) will have full usufruct rights.
Study common law marriages. Know that some states claim they do not recognize common law marriages and not recognizing and being illegal or unlawful are not the same thing. You have a right to your religious beliefs, make it a religious occasion. I have not seen any place that demands you “prove” you are married with a license, if you both go to the bank or where ever, and say we want to open a joint account or I want to add my wife/husband to the account, they do ask you to prove. You start collecting evidence.
Also have people over for the ceremony and have them sign a guest book, then you have witnesses.
Read Judge Valentine comments in Coverture.
Any one can officiate a ceremony, it does not have to be a Pastor, Judge, Rabi, Bishop, Reverend etc… As you are standing before God, making promises to God how you will treat her/him.
A State issued marriage license was created to allow different races to marry, this is the land of freedom, no one should be denied love.
In the United States, until the mid-19th century, common-law marriages were recognized as valid, but thereafter some states began to invalidate common-law marriages. Common-law marriages, if recognized, are valid, notwithstanding the absence of a marriage license. The requirement for a marriage license was used as a mechanism to prohibit whites from marrying blacks, mulattos, Japanese, Chinese, Native Americans, Mongolians, Malays or Filipinos. By the 1920s, 38 states used the mechanism.
Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares, “Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.”
For most of Western history, marriage was a private contract between two families. Until the 16th-century, Christian churches accepted the validity of a marriage, on the basis of a couple’s declarations. If two people claimed that they had exchanged marital vows—even without witnesses—the Catholic Church accepted that they were validly married.
Some states in the USA hold that public cohabitation can be sufficient evidence of a valid marriage. Marriage license application records from government authorities are widely available starting from the mid-19th century. Some are available dating from the 17th century in colonial America. [1] Marriage licenses have been required since 1639 in Massachusetts, with their use gradually expanding to other jurisdictions. [2] These prohibitions have changed throughout history. In the 1920s, they were used by 38 states to prohibit whites from marrying blacks, mulattos, Japanese, Chinese, Indians, Mongolians, Malays or Filipinos without a state approved license. At least 32 nations have established significant prohibitions on same-sex marriage.
Generally speaking, no one is forcing anyone into getting a marriage license, as men and women can live with and have sex with any consenting adult, in the old days this was forbidden, women got bad names, men got high fives! Since sex is common now days, you are no longer protecting the woman’s name or activities. However, a marriage license makes the state a party to the marriage and thereby making the state a substitute God and as God is love and what God/love has brought together let no man separate, the state brought you together and they can do as they please.
Also, if you are against gay marriages, you should be against the marriage codes as they refer to the parties in a marriage as persons not men and women, it is in fact designed for gays to get married and as only one party need to get a license.
If you are for gay marriages, then read the state laws. A license is to allow you to do that which is unlawful or illegal, it is a perfect defense to use a marriage license.
Create a trust for the legal aspect. Marry under God and not the state, easy as that!
Look into Montana “common law marriage” or “Declaration of Marriage.” They have an example of the document you need to file with the state. Maybe your state will accept something similar.
Not all states will even allow common law marriages any more but all states will recognize common law marriages that happened in states that do.
There are a plethora of reasons why we chose this over a state permitted process and I fully recommend you understand the state/court process and why you do or don’t want to be a part of it.
Good luck and maybe God bless your relationship!

Familyguardian website has a marriage contract that is pretty straightforward, private contract worded specifically to exclude any governmental intervention. Plus, they have lots of other good information.
