Marriage #45

  
/ 126  
  

45. In short, several wives and one man cannot become one flesh, that is, one mind, which is made up of the will and the understanding. The marriage of these two or - 1 - makes marriage in its very existence; for all things in the universe have reference to the marriage of good and truth, and so to marriage, in order that they may be something and bring forth something. And marriage itself in its own form from its own essence is produced in man together with his mate and likewise in an angel.
