Marriage #34

  
/ 126  
  

34. (19) Conjugial love depends upon the wife's love, and such too is the husband's love reciprocally; the wife's love does not depend on her husband's love. The reason is that just as the will acts on the understanding, good acts on truth; that is why it is said that a man ought to cleave to his wife. The reverse is true of those who are not in conjugial love.

Four winds of heaven

  

The four winds of heaven, as in Daniel 8:8, signify every good and truth of heaven and the church and their unity conjunction, and in an opposite sense, every evil and falsity, and their conjunction.
