Today's Quote:
Have you not read that He who made them from the beginning . . . male and female . . . , said, "For this reason a man shall leave father and mother and cling to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh"? Therefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. (Matthew 19:4-6)
Married love is from the Lord, and it corresponds to the marriage of the Lord and the church. It descends from the marriage of between good and truth. It is the fundamental love and the head of all celestial and spiritual loves. (Conjugial Love #143)
True married love is a chaste love, and has nothing in common with unchaste love. It is with one and only one of the opposite sex, with all others set aside, for it is a love of the spirit and consequently of the body, and not a love of the body and consequently of the spirit, that is, it is not a love that infests the spirit. (Conjugial Love #44:5)
