A marriage is a sacred covenant — not a government contract.

For couples who want to unite their lives without surrendering their relationship to state control, Common Law Marriage provides a lawful, recognized, and spiritually aligned alternative.

A true union exists between man, woman, and God — not man, woman, and the State.

Through Common Law Marriage, you and your spouse can establish a private, binding, and legitimate marital union without the need for licensing, state registration, or government oversight.

Common Law Marriage is a legally recognized marriage formed through:

• Mutual agreement
   
• Public acknowledgment
   
• Shared life as husband and wife
   
• Private vows or covenant
   
• Intent to form a marital union
   

Most importantly, it does not require:

• A state-issued marriage license
   
• Government registration
   
• Court involvement
   
• Clergy approval
   

Your union is valid because YOU say it is valid — not because the state grants permission.

A properly established common law marriage provides the same legal standing and protections as a state-licensed marriage, including:

• Property rights
   
• Parental rights
   
• Inheritance rights
   
• Financial protections
   
• Medical decision-making authority
   
• Recognition in most courts
   
• Rights between spouses during emergencies
   

The difference?
It does not bind you into a state-controlled contract.

You retain your sovereign standing while maintaining all marital protections.

A marriage license is, by definition, a contract — and contracts create jurisdiction.
When you sign a marriage license, you:

• Invite the state into your relationship
   
• Allow the government to define your union
   
• Give the state authority in matters of divorce, custody, and property
   
• Become subject to statutory rules rather than natural law
   
• Turn a spiritual covenant into a legal benefit program
   

Common Law Marriage returns your union to its rightful place:
a private covenant between two people under God, not a public contract overseen by government agencies.

To secure your union, you can create:

• A Common Law Marriage Affidavit
   
• A Declaration of Marriage
   
• Private vows or spiritual covenant
   
• Witness statements
   
• Joint household documentation
   
• A Family Bible entry
   
• A private ceremony
   

These serve as evidence of your union and protect your relationship from outside interference while affirming your marital status lawfully.

Common Law Marriage keeps your relationship:

• Private
   
• Sovereign
   
• Spiritually aligned
   
• Free from government intrusion
   
• Recognized without mandatory licensing
   
• Protected through natural law principles
   

You maintain full authority over your household, your union, and your family — without inviting the state into your personal covenant.

Your union should reflect your values, your beliefs, and your spiritual truth — not a government form.

By establishing a Common Law Marriage, you reclaim:

• Your privacy
   
• Your autonomy
   
• Your spiritual authority
   
• Your family sovereignty
   

This is marriage in its purest form — recognized by God, honored by the people, and protected under common law.
