CL 141
Chastity is ascribed only to monogamous marriages,
or to marriages of one man with one wife.
Chastity is ascribed only to such marriages
because married love in these marriages
does not lie in the natural self,
but enters into the spiritual self
and gradually opens its way
to the real spiritual marriage,
which is a marriage of good and truth.
This marriage is the origin of the love,
and it forms a bond with it.
For such a love enters as wisdom increases,
and this takes place
as the church is implanted by the Lord . . ..
