The state didn't keep the sanctity of the institution, the voters of the state did. In the regard to separation of church and state, I believe that marriage should be abolished from the state and instead be replaced with civil unions between any two consenting adults, and if you want to have a religious ceremony of a marriage or anything of the sort, that's your right, but it won't be held up as a legal binding by the government.
