Conjugial Love (Rogers) n. 95

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

95. (7) But conjugial love is a love of the internal or spiritual man, and is peculiar to mankind. Conjugial love is a love of the internal or spiritual man because the more intelligent and wise a person becomes, the more internal or spiritual he becomes. The more, too, is the form of his mind perfected, and the perfected form receives conjugial love, for it perceives and feels in that love a spiritual delight that is inwardly blessed, and a natural delight arising from that love which takes its soul, life and essence from the spiritual delight.
