66. MARRIAGE (Conjugium). - (See also the other Index.)

A universal sphere of conjugial love proceeds from the Lord and fills the universe, or both worlds (2 [CL 92, 115, 220, 222, 355]).

(Concerning love of the sex, see SEX.)

(Concerning spiritual marriage, which is the marriage of good and truth, see below.)

Marriages are of the Divine providence; and they are in the most minute particulars with male and with female (Memorabilia 76 [C L., 316]).

Whence is the conjugial, in its first origin (101-103 [CL 60, 61, 83, 103-114, 183, 238]).

Two consorts make one form of wisdom and love (189-193 [CL 100-102, 201]).

All things that are born from that form derive a likeness therefrom; thus they are in the marriage of wisdom and love (194-198 [CL 202-205]).

All affections of the will and perceptions of the understanding with them are in like form (199-201).

That form conjoins itself with all the loves of a society (212-216).

Various things from angels concerning the chastity of marriage (216).

Masculine and feminine conjugial love specifically, and the intelligence of each (223-301 [CL 218]). (See SEX.)

Various things on this subject (281). (See SEX.)

Still others (282-284). (See SEX.)

Three degrees of marriages and adulteries (373-384 [CL 270]). Conversation of adulterers about marriages (Memorabilia 407 [CL 521, 522]).

Consorts who are in love truly conjugial wish to be one; and consorts who are not, wish to be two (many things, 606-621 [CL 215]).

Conjugial love is chiefly dependent on husbands (753-757 [CL 216]).

Arcana concerning the communication of love between consorts (758-762 [CL 217]).

Conjugial similitude and dissimilitude (765-882 [CL 227-229]). (See SIMILITUDE.)

Causes of coldnesses, separations and divorces, with consorts (853-1018 [CL 234-260]). (See COLDNESS, DIVORCE.)

After the nuptials a man is to leave his father and mother, and of the sex he is to love his wife only (1181-1187 [CL 194, 411]).

Changes of state with man and woman, especially through marriage (1252-1285 [CL 184-206]).

Signs that consorts wish to be one (various things, 1262, 1278).

Repeated marriages (1287-1300 [CL 317-325]). (See WIDOW.)

The state of consorts after death (1719-1736 [CL 45-54]).

The love of the sex remains with man after death such as it was in the world interiorly, that is, in his interior will and the thought from it (1721-1723 [CL 46, 47]).

So, too, conjugial love remains such as it was interiorly (1724, 1725 [CL 48]).

Two consorts for the most part meet after death, recognize each other, consociate, and for some time live together; this takes place in their first state, thus while they are in externals as they were in the world (1726, 1727, [CL 37, 46, 47]).

Various circumstances about these things (1725, 1728).

The Lord's words explained, that a wife is not given to a man (1727 [CL 41]).

Successively, as they put off externals and enter into their internals, they have a perception of the quality of the inclination that they have had for each other; and so whether they can live together as one or not (1728, 1729, [CL 48]).

If they are unable to live together as one they separate; the man from the wife, the wife from the man, or each from the other (1728, 1729 [CL 49]).

Then there is given to the man a suitable wife, and to the woman a suitable husband (1728, 1729 [CL 50, 54]).

In their relation to each other, consorts enjoy conjugial delight similar to those in the world, but more happy; but without prolification; instead of which, or in its place, there is spiritual prolification, which is that of good and truth (1730-1732 [CL 51, 52]).

Such is the case with those who come into heaven; but it is otherwise with those who go into hell (1733-1736 [CL 53, 54]).
