Strongly agree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

This answer aligns well with classical liberalism's emphasis on limited government intervention and individual freedom. By removing the government from the marriage process, it allows individuals to make their own choices based on their beliefs and values. This approach has been advocated by some classical liberal thinkers, such as Milton Friedman.
