If the reason for government is to protect “life, liberty and pursuit (not attainment!) of happiness – otherwise known as property” how can it logically be deduced that government ought to be involved in marriage (or divorce) in the first place?

Without government interference I would assume most marriages would be more like contracts and we have experience in dealing with prenuptial and failure-to-perform clauses.
