376. From what has now been said about the origin of conjugial love, one may conclude who are in that love and who are not; namely, that those are in conjugial love who are in Divine Good from Divine truths; and that conjugial love is genuine just to the extent that the truths are genuine with which the good is conjoined. And as all the good that is conjoined with truths is from the Lord, it follows that no one can be in truly conjugial love unless he acknowledges the Lord and His Divine; for without that acknowledgment the Lord cannot flow in and be conjoined with the truths that are with a man.
