The government is not making rules on who can be in relationships, the government is making rules on who can enjoy government benefits of a supposed long-term relationship. Although the "long-term" part of the definition is definitely becoming blurred.
I'm not arguing for or against gay marriages or whatnot, just pointing out that your proposal that the government should make no rules whatsoever on marriage would never work.
