A male is a male, and a female is a female, after death (6-8 [CL 32, 33]).

In what the masculine consists, and in what the feminine; also in what consists the conjunction of the two (6 [CL 32, 56, 61]).

Differences of the two in internal and in external form (7, 8 [CL 32, 33]).

The sex and its love are in the whole and in every part; and this love especially remains after death (14-17 [CL 37, 46, 47]);

Because this love is the universal of all loves (14-16 [CL 46]).

The male is wisdom and understanding; the wife is the love of the man's wisdom and understanding (52-56 [CL 32, 33, 88, 90]).

There is masculine love to the Lord, and there is feminine; and the love is not full unless these are together (74).

The man is a form of wisdom from love, and the woman is a form of love from wisdom (168-171 [CL 187]).

They have fallen into the opposite form through evils (172-175).

But still man can be led back into the form into which he was created, if he goes to the Lord and shuns evils as sins (176-180, 181-184 [CL 81]). Concerning masculine and feminine conjugial love specifically, and concerning the intelligence of each (223-301 [CL 184-199, 218]).

Husbands are from creation forms of wisdom, of intelligence and of knowledge; and wives are from creation forms of the love of these (225-227 [CL 187]).

Wives do not enter into the wisdom, intelligence and knowledge proper to the husbands; but they are affected by them, and they love their husbands on account of them (228-230 [CL 168, 170-175]).

Various arcana, respecting the state of men and the state of women (230 [CL 187-191]).

With husbands there is an elevation of the interiors of the mind into higher light, and with wives there is an elevation of the mind into superior heat; and a wife is sensible of the delights of her heat together with the light of her husband (231-233 [CL 188, 189]).

Various things from angels concerning this also (233 [CL 293]).

The wife wishes to be united to the husband as to his internal will, and the husband wishes to be united to the wife as to her external will; and thus the will of the two, internal and external, is made one (234-238 [CL 163-165]).

Various things in regard to this from conversation with angels (238 [CL 293]).

With the wife there is in the highest measure clear-sightedness for knowing the affections of the husband, and the greatest tact in regulating them; and with every sense wives have a perception of the inclination of the husband towards them, especially with the sense of touch in the palms of their hands (239-242 [CL 166]).

Various things concerning this clear-sightedness of wives (241 [CL 208]).

Wives have an inborn prudence in concealing their love and also this clear-sightedness from their husbands (243-246 [CL 167]).

Various things from angels concerning this, and concerning the opposite state (248, 249 [CL 208]). Conjugial love principally has its seat with wives, and husbands receive it from their wives (250-253 [CL 161, 216[*], 224]).

The chasteness of conjugial love has its seat principally with wives, and not in like manner with husbands unless wisdom effects it (254-257).

Wives are sensible of the delights of conjugial love from the bosom love which is inmost friendship; the determinations of this love to the ultimate delight are in the good pleasure of the husband (258-262 [CL 221]).

Various things respecting the delights of that love, and whence they are (261 [CL 188, 189, 198]).

As husbands from wisdom love conjugial chastity and friendship, so they are sensible of the delights of conjugial love communicated to them by their wives (263-265).

The intelligence of women in itself is tender, pacific, yielding, soft, beautiful, modest, lovely, like themselves; and the intelligence of men in itself is grave, harsh, hard, tenacious, high-spirited, wandering with license (269-273 [CL 218]).

The intelligence of the wife is connected with the external matters called economical and domestic; as to internal things and public matters, she depends on the intelligence of her husband; if a widow, she is dependent on the intelligence of men, except for those things which she has derived from her husband by remembrance (274-278 [CL 90, 91, 325]).

A wife is actually formed into the love of her husband's wisdom; and this is done by the reception of the offshoots of his soul, together with the delight that arises from her desire to be the love of her husband's wisdom: thus from being a virgin she becomes a wife; thus she becomes a similitude (279-281 [CL 172, 173, 198, 199]).

Various things concerning this, from the conversation of angels (281).

Thus the wisdom of the husband is given to his wife, is appropriated, and becomes implanted in her life; whence the love of her husband's wisdom exists in the wife, and grows (282-284 [CL 173]).

The truth of good is masculine, and the good of truth is feminine (319-323 [CL 90, 91]).

The male was created to become wisdom, and the female to become the love of the wisdom of the man (725-731, 732-742 [CL 32, 33]).

Conjugial love chiefly depends on husbands (753-757 [CL 216[*]]).

Three French orators on the beauty of the female sex (Memorabilia 1727 (CL 381-384]).

The perception and wisdom proper to the man and proper to the woman, and concerning the conjunction of man and woman through them (2007-2022 [CL 156[*] 181]).

Man has a faculty of knowing, of understanding, and of being wise, that woman does not have (2008-2009 [CL 168, 174, 175]).

Woman has a faculty of knowing, of understanding, and of being wise, that man does not have (2010, 2011 [CL 168, 174, 175]).

In the woman there is the inclination to love the things which are of knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom with the man, in the man (2011 [CL 159]).

The man has the inclination to love the things which are of knowledge, intelligence and wisdom with the woman, in the woman (2012).

It is from creation that the faculties and inclinations of the two may be conjoined into one (2013, 2014 [CL 156[*], 157]).

The conjunction is inspired by the woman according to her love, and it is received by the man according to his wisdom (2015 [CL 161]).

Inclination to conjoin the man to herself is constant and perpetual with the woman, but its reception is various and alternate with the man (2016 [CL 160, 169]).

Perceptions of the inclinations and affections of the man, and, together with this, prudence in regulating them, is woman's wisdom (2017 [CL 166, 168]).

Women hide this wisdom of theirs within themselves, and do not disclose it at all to the man, for the sake of causes that are necessities; so that conjugial love, friendship, and confidence, and thus the union of souls and minds and the consequent bliss of living together, and the happiness of the life of both parties, may be preserved and strengthened (2018 [CL 167]).

As woman is beautiful, so she is tender; and as she is tender, so she has ability to perceive the delights of conjugial love; and as she is able to perceive these delights, so she is a faithful custodian of the common good, and as she is a custodian of the common good, and the man is wise, so she looks after the prosperity and happiness of the home (2019).

Man's perception and the wisdom therefrom cannot be given in woman; and woman's perception and the wisdom therefrom cannot be given in man (2020 [CL 168]).

The perception and wisdom of both of them are conjoined through the marriage of one man with one wife; and this conjunction is according to the quality of their conjugial love; and according to this conjunction a man [homo] becomes more and more or less and less a man (2021, 2022 [CL 176-178]).

Duties proper to man and proper to woman, and the conjunction of both by them (2023-2033 [CL 174-176]).

There are duties proper to man and proper to woman; the duties proper to man may be called public duties, and those proper to woman may be called domestic duties (2024 [CL 90, 91, 174, 175]).

Man from the wisdom that is proper to himself inclines to his own duties, and woman from the wisdom proper to her inclines to her duties (2024 [CL 33]).

Man's duties are matters of interior judgment, and woman's duties are of exterior (2026 [CL 175]).

A woman cannot enter into the duties of man, nor can a man enter into the duties of woman, and perform them aright (2037, 2028 [CL 174, 175]).

Wise women are not loved (2028 [CL 175; AC 8994]).

The conjunction of their duties is a mutual help (2029 [CL 176]).

A man and a woman by this mutual assistance, make a home which is coherent as one (2030 [CL 176]).

The duties of the two make up as it were a single form of government (2031).

The duties of the man refer to wisdom; the duties of the woman refer to doing the man's delights of wisdom, and thus they refer to the man (2032).

All these are done more perfectly, or more imperfectly, according to the state of conjugial love between them (2033 [CL 118, 162]).
