141. (2) Chastity is ascribed only to monogamous marriages, or to marriages of one man with one wife. Chastity is ascribed only to such marriages because conjugial love in these marriages does not lie in the natural self, but enters into the spiritual self and gradually opens its way to the real spiritual marriage, which is a marriage of good and truth. This marriage is the origin of the love, and it forms a bond with it. For such a love enters as wisdom increases, and this takes place as the church is implanted by the Lord, as we have shown many times before. This cannot happen in the case of polygamists, since they divide conjugial love, and when this love is a divided one it is not much different from promiscuous love, which in itself is a natural love. But on this subject, some important points will be seen in the chapter on polygamy.* * See nos. 332ff.
