The reason why conjugial love, as it is described in the Chapter devoted to it ([IV] 57-73) and the following ones, which describe it in its essence, is only possible for those who belong to the Christian church, is that the Lord is the only source of that love, and the Lord is not so known elsewhere that He can be approached as God. It is also because that love depends upon the state of the church with the individual (130), and the proper state of the church can only come from the Lord, so that it is not found except with those who receive it from Him. These two things are the ones which first begin, introduce and establish this love, as has already been proved by such a quantity of evident and compelling reasons that it is quite superfluous to add anything more. The reason, however, why truly conjugial love is rare in the Christian world (58, 59) is that few people there approach the Lord; and these include some who while believing in the church do not live in accordance with its teaching. There are other matters too which have been disclosed in THE APOCALYPSE REVEALED, which contains a full description of the present state of the Christian church. But it remains none the less true that truly conjugial love is only possible for those who belong to the Christian church. For this reason too polygamy has been utterly banished from it. This also is of the Lord's Divine providence, as is quite obvious to those who have a proper way of thinking about providence.
