371. The Divine that goes forth from the Lord flows chiefly into conjugial love because conjugial love descends from a conjunction of good and truth; for, as has been said above, it is the same thing whether you say conjunction of understanding and will or conjunction of good and truth. Conjunction of good and truth has its origin in the Lord's Divine Love towards all who are in heaven and on earth. From Divine Love, Divine Good goes forth, and Divine Good is received by angels and men in Divine truths. Truth is the sole receptacle of good. Wherefore nothing can be received from the Lord and from heaven by anyone who is not in truths; therefore, just to the extent that the truths with man are conjoined to good, is man conjoined to the Lord and to heaven. This, then, is the very origin of conjugial love, and for this reason that love is the very plane of Divine influx. This is why the conjunction of good and truth in heaven is termed the heavenly marriage, and heaven is likened in the Word to a marriage, and is termed a marriage; and the Lord is called the "Bridegroom" and "Husband", and heaven and also the Church are called the "bride" and the "wife".# # The origin, cause, and essence of truly conjugial love is the marriage of good and truth; thus it is from heaven (n. 2728, 2729). Respecting angelic spirits, who have a perception whether there is anything of marriage from the idea of a conjunction of good and truth (n. 10756). It is with conjugial love in every respect the same as it is with the conjunction of good and truth (n. 1904, 2173, 2429, 2508, 3101, 3102, 3155, 3179, 3180, 4358, 5807, 5835, 9206, 9495, 9637). How and with whom the conjunction of good and truth is effected (n. 3834, 4096, 4097, 4301, 4345, 4353, 4364, 4368, 5365, 7623-7627, 9258). Only those who are in good and truth from the Lord know what truly conjugial love is (n. 10171). In the Word "marriage" signifies the marriage of good and truth (n. 3132, 4434, 4835). The kingdom of the Lord and heaven are in truly conjugial love (n. 2737).
