10174. From all this it becomes clear that marriages are holy, that the violation of them is a violation of that which is holy, and consequently that adulterous relationships are unholy. To be sure, even as the delight accompanying conjugial love comes down from heaven, so the delight that goes with adultery comes up from hell.
