Yes, we should only have "traditional marriage" as dictated in the Bible, so we then get to have a wife and her handmaiden (Abraham), two wives who are also sisters (Jacob), several thousand wives and concubines (Samson), simply having children together while not actually being married and after being technically-speaking "born" of the other making it essentially incest (Adam and Eve), women bought and sold as property (pretty much every case of marriage in the Bible), etc. Yep, let's bring those rules back, I'm sure the men will love it! Marriage is secular in the US, you don't have to belong to a religion to get married, you can go to the courthouse, pay for a license (which is essentially a contract anyway), and boom, you're married. Until they mandate that you can only get married by a Bible-believing minister, there is no valid reason to deny marriage to any two mentally-competant adult persons.
