3914. 'Go [in] to her' means that with this means there exists the ability to join together. This is clear from the meaning of 'going to someone' or going in, when used in a marital context, as a joining together, in this case the ability to be joined to an affirmative attitude. For the first requirement in that joining together is an affirmative attitude, that is, that the thing is indeed so.
