Domestic Relationships
If we dig a little deeper into the origins of parental rights these ancient relationships, both legal and natural, we may get a chance to understand how te systems of the world can make the plan of God to none effect.
A "domestic relationship" may mean "a personal relationship between 2 adults in which one provides personal or financial commitment and support of a domestic nature for the material benefit of the other and includes a domestic partnership but does not include a legal marriage."
Yet, if you look in Clark's Summary of American Law you will find under Domestic Relationships and Persons Chapter 3 "Husband and Wife", which has been considered one of the great Domestic Relationships. Chapter one under Domestic Relationships and Persons is Marriage. Both list of the rights of the Husband and Wife including the rights to children. They are clearly different relationships.
There are subheadings under "Marriage" which includes "The contract to marry". The second subheading is "The marriage status and relationship". There are different kinds of marriage. First, marriage often is a contract "to marry" signed between the couple by permission of the natural parents. The marriage itself is generally what would be called a "frank marriage". A frank marriage is one where the couple are the only two parties in the final marriage contract.
Today, State licensed marriages are contracts between the couple and the State. In essence, they are three-party contracts where the state continues to holds an interest in the union and the products of that union - the children.
Instead of asking permission from their natural parents to marry or enter into this "State Contract", the couple asks permission of their parent the state. How did the state become the parent of the couple? This involves many other deeds and applications between the original parents and possibly their parents, and the persons seeking to marry.
- “Marriage is often referred to as a civil contract, but the emphasis in such a reference is not on the word ‘contract’ but upon the word ‘civil’ as distinguished from ecclesiastical; since there is religious freedom in this country a religious ceremony, and rules of ecclesiastical organizations with regard to marriage have no legal significance”.
- “Though mutual assent is necessary to enter into a marriage the marriage itself is a status or relationship rather than a contract, the rights and obligations of the parties thereto being fixed by the law instead of by the parties themselves. Hence marriages are not within the provision of the United States Constitution forbidding a state to impair the obligation of contracts.” Clark’s Summary of American Law. Chapt I §2. The marriage status or relationship. pp. 140.
So, yes the relationship of Husband and Wife is a domestic relationship. Common Law marriage is valid if you openly move in together as Husband and Wife because the union is a domestic relationship which implies Natural Law. That domestic relationship "does not include a legal marriage" because the relationship as husband and wife with the State is a relationship that is not domestic but it is civil.
Your marriage contract with the State includes all the civil statutes at the time of your marriage and all the changes the legislature will make during that union.
The principle of Natural Law and the rights of the Father may shift to the State which is why Plutarch said, “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.”
