99. SPIRITUAL MARRIAGE, WHICH IS THE MARRIAGE OF GOOD AND TRUTH (Conjugium spirituale, quod est boni et veri).
The union of love and wisdom, or of good and truth, is in the Lord alone (36-38 [CL 84]).
This union is from the Lord, and it is the Lord with man (39, 40 [CL 85]).
Reciprocal union of wisdom and love can be given only with a male and a female together (42-45 [CL 100-102]).
This union with them is the image of God (46-50 [CL 84-86]).
The image of God is the inmost origin of conjugial love (51-56 [CL 84-86]).
(That such is the origin of conjugial love, see CONJUGIAL LOVE.)
Conjugial love is from religion (131-135, 140-145 [CL 531]). (See CONJUGIAL LOVE, also RELIGION.)
Masculine conjugial love and feminine, specifically; also the intelligence of each (223-301 [CL 89-91]). (See SEX.)

The marriage of good and truth (304-407 [CL 83-102]).
Marriages are from the marriage of good and truth (304 [CL 83-102]).
What is properly meant by spiritual marriage is between the good of truth and the truth of good (324, 325 [CL 93, 100]).
Between these two is the love which is properly called conjugial love (326-329 [CL 65, 92, 93]).
Concerning its prolification (330-337 [CL 51, 65]). (See OFFSPRING.)
In this marriage there is reciprocal action and reaction, from which the one becomes the other's; it is mutual (338-340 [CL 61, 293]).
All things of marriage derive their origin from the marriage of good and truth (344, seq. [CL 60-63]).
The marriage of good and truth descends from the Lord through three degrees; in each of these degrees it proceeds from what is greatest to what is least; hence there is infinite variety in that marriage (373-375).

Celestial marriages, spiritual marriages, and natural marriages: and distinctions (373-388). (See DEGREES.)
Genuine marriages with men altogether make a one with the marriage of good and truth with them (389-392 [CL 62, 65, 83, 115]).
The marriage of good and truth is in all things and in every single thing of the Word, of the church and of religion (393-397 [CL 62, 115, 163, 176, 516]).
Therefore marriages with men are altogether in accordance with the states of the church and of religion with them (398-401 [CL 70-72, 76, 130, 238, 531, 534]).
Therefore each one has heaven according to his conjugial love (402-406 [CL 531]). Conjugial love in its first origin is to them the love for the propagation of good and truth (502-512 [CL 220]).
There is spiritual conjugial love, and there is natural (575-578 [CL 148]).
There is spiritual conjugial love from which, in which, and into which a man is conceived, and into which he grows, and is formed (579-584).
They who are in love truly conjugial become forms of celestial, natural and spiritual love and wisdom (679-682, seq.).
Love and wisdom increase with those who are in conjugial love (723-724 [CL 98, 188, 211, 212, 355]).
