Restoring Marriage to the Family Sphere - Goodbye to Marriage Licenses

The Alabama State Legislature has just voted to do away with the marriage license. Christians are increasingly abandoning the marriage license anyway, and restoring marriage to a rightful jurisdiction of the family. Yet, the church and the state are witnesses. How does this work? How much does a father get involved in the marriage of his daughters? Is there a balance between being overly controlling and failing to provide accountability and good preparation for our daughters and sons?
