AC 9182 - conjugial love descending from marriage

AC 9182 [3]
Lawful conjunction, which is that of minds,
is effected when both are in the like good and truth;
for good and truth make a person's life;
moral and civil good and truth, the life of the external man;
and spiritual good and truth, the life of the internal man. . ..
. . . a lawful conjunction is effected when the husband is in truth,
and the wife is in the corresponding good,
for in this way the heavenly marriage,
which is that of good and truth,
is represented in the pair.
From this it is that conjugial love descends from this marriage.
