"Gov. Jared Polis signs bill repealing constitutional ban on same-sex #marriage in #Colorado"

The provision was left over from a less tolerant time in Colorado. Though Obergefell rendered it moot, #SCOTUS rumblings about possibly overturning that decision led to Colorado voters overwhelmingly pass a repeal initiative last year.

Small victories...

"[A]s far back as our sources go, #Judaism teaches about a deeper layer in #marriage. The #Torah tells us that Isaac did indeed love his wife Rebekah when they got married (even though they did meet through a matchmaker!).

In fact, #Maimonides, in one of the most authoritative legal codes, states that “a man should honor his wife more than himself and love her as himself.” A loving, emotional connection is an expectation in a #Jewish marriage.

Mystically, the Torah tells us that a man and wife are in fact two halves of a whole; their souls are destined for each other from before they are even born, and seek to reconnect with and complete each other. Every marriage is an expression of this longing and fulfillment."
