In some countries maybe, but in other countries you need a civil mariage first before you can do an optional church mariage ceremony.

Doesn't that mean that the church won't marry you if the government hasn't made it official?

That just follows the argument that the religious aspect is simply a voluntary add-on to the actual institution of marriage (a government-approved contract between individuals), which is the opposite of what the original commenter was arguing for.

Matrimony and marriage are separate already. If you want to get church-married, go for it. If you don't, don't. Doesn't sound hard or like it needs to be changed.

According to Wikipedia, the difference between matrimony and marriage isn't that clear:

Marriage is a socially or ritually recognized union, or legal contract between spouses.

Matrimony is a socially or ritually recognised union between spouses.
