If I was married in another state, do I need to enter in a marriage in New Jersey in order to have my marriage recognized in New Jersey?

 No. Just as with
opposite-sex couples, so long as your out-of-state marriage is consistent with
the laws and public policy of New Jersey, your marriage is valid and recognized
in this State and you will not need to enter into a New Jersey marriage.
