I know it isn't strictly enforced but a marriage license is a license to have sex. If you breed outside of those parameters you are breaking the law. Think about it. A driver's license is a license to drive. A hunting license is a license to hunt. A marriage license must make legal some sort of behavior. Is it outrageous to assume that sex is illegal without a license?

Yes. Very much so.
doesn't stop one night stands, or premarital sex
That is not how laws work.
There are no laws against one night stands or premarital sex. That's not what the marriage license is for.

That's why it's called a marriage license and not a sex license.

It's not illegal to drive without a drivers license on private property.

Should people be required to qualify and obtain a license to have children? If so, what should be the standards to qualify and why?
People need a license to drive, hunt, fish, etc and society is inundated with government regulations as it is, and yet people can breed freely without regard for their ability to provide for their children and regardless of genetic health. Personally, I think it would be disastrous to give the government control over reproduction, especially considering the lousy job it does with everything else. And yet, it is illogical for unhealthy and/or poverty stricken people to breed.
Sex is implied.
Even if we were to make such a law today, in the age of Eminem, Miley Cyrus and Ke$ha, we wouldn't use the word sex on a legal document. A marriage license is a license to have sex. Here's another news flash for everybody. A marriage license isn't a legal binding document until the marriage is consummated.
Don't get all pissy with me. These laws aren't enforced. I do understand why many people are unaware of the purpose of a marriage license. The intention has always been to grant permission to individuals to engage in sex. This was the case even when marriages were still granted by churches instead of the state.
Please show me any statute, federal or state, that prohibits anyone from sex based on whether or not they are married.
Here is a few states that issue marriage license.
Here is a list of the states that do not enforce the law:
That's not what I asked. I asked you to show me a statue from any state or from federal law that links marriage licenses with sexual activity. You claim that they are linked. I'm asking you to show me the law that says this.
Would it change your mind? or would I be wasting my efforts?
