CL 304
With chaste people - who are people
who think of marriage in accordance with religion -
a marriage of the spirit precedes
and one of the body follows after.
These are also people in whom love ascends
toward the soul
and thus descends from on high . . ..
Their souls turn away from
an unrestricted love for the opposite sex
and devote themselves to one,
looking to an everlasting and eternal union with him or her
and the growing blessings of that union,
which fuel in them a hope
that continually refreshes their minds.
