The difference is that you can't get a drivers license in a state you don't live in. What would be the limitations on a couple with an out-of-state marriage license?
Not entitled to spousal benefits and privileges in their state of residence?
What would their state of residence have to recognize?

I was thinking about something like "buying insurance", etc.

Yeah, I could see that.

I think "Drivers Licenses" offers a template.
State A and State B may have very different requirements for getting a drivers license. However the states have entered into a "drivers license compact" with each other that basically states: Each state will recognize the validity of each others drivers license for purpose of enabling travel through the state.
That is, while you are in transit State A completely accepts a State B license for that purpose. However you can't necessarily use an out-of-state license for purposes other than temporary travel.
