58. Dominating behaviour in marriages destroys conjugial love; and about the Dutch women

On the love of dominating in marriages; it destroys all truly conjugial love, because conjugial love is such that one wishes to think and will as the other, and the other as the first, so that one does not dominate, only the Lord. That is the source of the delight of conjugial love.
