You can feel better now that the dictionary contains the new definition of marriage.
marriage
noun mar·riage \ˈmer-ij, ˈma-rij\
: the relationship that exists between a husband and a wife
: a similar relationship between people of the same sex
: a ceremony in which two people are married to each other
