This is why in
marriage love there is a playfulness like that of childhood and like
that of innocence.{2}
{Footnote 1} Every good of love and truth of faith, to be good
and true must have innocence in it (n. 2526, 2780, 3111, 3994,
6013, 7840, 9262, 10134). Innocence is the essential of good
and truth (n. 2780, 7840). No one is admitted into heaven
unless he possesses something of innocence (4797).
{Footnote 2} True marriage love is innocence (n. 2736).
Marriage love consists in willing what the other wills, thus
mutually and reciprocally (n. 2731). They who are in marriage
love dwell together in the inmosts of life (n. 2732). There is
a union of the two minds, and thus from love they are a one (n.
10168, 10169). True marriage love derives its origin and
essence from the marriage of good and truth (n. 2728, 2729).
About angelic spirits who have a perception from the idea of
the conjunction of good and truth whether anything of marriage
exists (n. 10756). Marriage love is wholly like the conjunction
of good and truth (n. 1904, 2173, 2508, 2729, 3103, 3132, 3155,
3179, 3180, 4358, 5807, 5835, 9206, 9207, 9495, 9637).
