About them wanting to be "married in their faith".

Mormons, for example, have two entirely different tiers of marriage, with different ceremonies.

What people want to do in their churches is entirely up to them.

Whether the state establishes a legal status called "X" has nothing to do with whether churches want to baptize, confirm, circumcise, anoint, marry, canonize, or do any other thing that establishes some status within their religion.

It's like saying "Jews will have to compromise on considering adulthood to begin at age 13, since the law usually sets the age of majority at age 18". I don't get what you are saying at all... if someone wants to say their adulthood in their faith begins with a bar mitzvah, nobody's asking them to "compromise" anything.
