AC 5051
. . . heavenly conjugial love exists
when a man together with his wife,
whom he loves most tenderly,
and with his children,
lives content in the Lord.
From this he has in this world an inward pleasantness,
and in the other life heavenly joy . . ..
AC 5052
The Lord instills conjugial love through the inmost heaven,
the angels of which are in peace beyond all others.
Peace in the heavens
is comparatively like springtime in the world,
which renders all things joyous,
for in its origin peace is the celestial itself.
The angels who are in the inmost heaven are the wisest of all,
and from their innocence they appear to others as infants,
for they love infants
much more than do their fathers and mothers.
They are present with infants in the womb,
and through them the Lord cares for the feeding
and full development of the infants therein;
thus they have charge over those who are with child.
