112. Conjugial love takes its origin from the marriage of the Lord with heaven and with the Church, and consequently from the marriage of good and truth. It is not apparent to the senses or comprehension that conjugial love takes its inmost essence from that source; but it can be established from influx and from correspondence, as well as from the Word. From influx: heaven is compared to a marriage, and is called a marriage, from the union of good and truth, which flows in from the Lord. From correspondence: when good united with truth flows down into a lower sphere, it produces a union of minds; when into an even lower sphere, it produces a marriage. Therefore the union of minds from good united with truth proceeding from the Lord is conjugial love itself.
