CL 35 - the Golden Age of marriage

CL 75 [5, 8]
[5] Then because I had in my thought the desire
to learn about the marriages of the most ancient peoples,
I looked by turns at the husband and wife,
and I observed a seeming unity of their souls in their faces.

So I said, "You two are one."

The man replied, "We are.
Her life is in me, and my life is in her.
We have two bodies, but one soul.
The union between us is like the union
of the two tabernacles in the breast
which are called the heart and the lungs.
She is my heart and I am her lungs.
But since when we say heart here we mean love,
and when we say lungs we mean wisdom,
therefore she is the love of my wisdom,
and I am the wisdom of her love.
Therefore her love outwardly clothes my wisdom,
and my wisdom is inwardly within her love.
Consequently, as you have said,
the unity of our souls appears in our faces."

[8] "We here have seen, for thousands of years,
that those delights [of marriage or conjugial love]
become more excellent and exalted
in abundance, degree and strength,
according to the worship of the Lord Jehovih among us.
That heavenly union or that heavenly marriage
which exists between love and wisdom
infuses itself as a result of that worship."
