DOWNLOAD EBOOKSwedish philosopher and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg saw marriage as an equal, mutually beneficial pairing, a progressive view that would greatly influence his disciples. Swedenborg believed that a husband and wife's earthly relationship has a great deal of influence on what would happen to them after death. A couple truly in love would remain together for all eternity, while loveless marriages would be dissolved in the afterlife. For Swedenborg, marriage was a continuation of a divine pattern of pairings that included good and truth, charity and faith, and God and the church.

That all those things which precede in minds form series, which collect together, one next to another, and one after another, and that these together compose a last or ultimate, is as yet unknown in the world; but as it is a truth from heaven, it is here adduced for it explains what influx effects, and what is the quality of the last or ultimate, in which the above-mentioned series successively formed co-exist. From these considerations it may be seen that the states of the minds of each of the parties proceeding in successive order flow into the state of marriage. But married partners after marriage are altogether ignorant of the successive things which are insinuated into, and exist in their minds (animis) from things antecedent; nevertheless it is those things which give form to conjugial love, and constitute the state of their minds; from which state they act the one with the other. The reason why one state is formed from one order with such as are spiritual, and from another with such as are natural, is, because the spiritual proceed in a just order, and the natural in an unjust order; for the spiritual look to the Lord, and the Lord provides and leads the order; whereas...
