118. With those who live in conjugial love the interiors of their minds are open through heaven right to the Lord, for that love flows in from the Lord through man's inmost. Thus they have the Lord's kingdom within themselves, and thus they have true love of infants, which is on account of the Lord's kingdom; and thus they are more receptive than others of celestial loves, and are more than others in mutual love. For this love comes from this source like a stream from its spring. For from the marriage of good and truth descend and are derived all loves, which are like that of parents for their children, the love of brothers among themselves, and love for relations, thus in order according to their degrees. These loves are solely from the marriage of good and truth. From this marriage are formed all the societies of heaven, according to their relationships by blood and kinship, and equally in each society; hence heaven is called a marriage.
