Monday

Sort of like an LLC...so long as the people involved are not in a competing arrangement (already married), competent, not acting fraudulently, not under duress and are consenting adults, there's absolutely no reason why two households

A Religious marriage is just the marriage ceremony. Not necessarily the partnership. People can be married in a Church, but unless the state has a common-law marriage statute in which co-habitation for a long period of time can be considered legal, the official civil document is still the determining factor as to if the marriage is a legal contract in terms of tax or other spousal legal situations and benefits.
