Conjugial Love (Chadwick) n. 197

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

197. (xii) This formation of the wife takes place by making her husband's affections her own.

This statement makes one with the two preceding statements, because affections belong to the will. For affections, being simply derivatives of love, form the will, and make it up and compose it. In the case of men affections are located in the intellect, but in the case of women in the will.
