Conjugal Love Has the Greatest Sweetness
“But if we compare the sentiments in an impartial mood, we find that the conjugal sentiment is superior to all others in sweetness.”
What the purport teaches
- No one is higher or lower in transcendental relationships with the Lord, because everything in the absolute realm is equal.
- Although these relationships are absolute, there are transcendental differences between them.
- An impartial comparison finds conjugal love superior in sweetness. It is therefore considered the highest perfection.
