Emanuel Swedenborg was an extraordinary and extremely humble man born in Falun City in Sweden. He possessed supernormal powers beyond what ordinary human beings could imagine. He could see exactly how the angels, demons and other beings lived in heaven and hell and how their lives corresponded to our lives on earth. An important aspect of life on earth was the meaning of marriage according to Swedenborg. Why did human beings have to marry and how did marriage morals correspond to life in heaven? Swedenborg disclosed all of these secrets and although hard to swallow for many people he made perfect sense of everything he wrote. For example, Swedenborg wrote that people from all religions can go to heaven. It all depends on your heart for others and your belief in the Lord Creator of the Universe. You must believe and you must do good deeds to prove that you believe in the Lord. Faith without good deeds doesn´t count at all.

The Reason For Marriage Is To Create A Perfectly Balanced Being Who Has Unlimited Potency With Equal Amounts Of Love And Wisdom

Swedenborg described many times that the reason for creating man and woman was to have them marry and complement each other. The man is responsible for wisdom and the woman is responsible for love. As the couple starts to adjust to each other and continually try to improve their character while believing fully in the Lord, they could gradually create a marriage which is not based on lust but which is based on mutual understanding and compassion for the other. Such a marriage will create a completely different relationship based on a big heart for your spouse since you know that you are one integrated being who complement each other.

In Heaven an angel might have looked like one being but in fact it was composed of a man and a woman if one looked closely – but they had merged together as one. This is similar to the Yin-Yang symbol from China where the female and male energy together act as one being, perfectly balanced and in harmony with each other as they continually change and adjust to each other.

As you might imagine the man of this kind of union had unlimited virility and the wondrous climax of their intercourse would be all over the whole body and not only in one single point as in human beings. Swedenborg many times said that man is so poor – all his carnal pleasures are so dull compared to the pleasures of heavenly love. In heaven you feel refreshed after intercourse while in a carnal marriage you might feel dejected, tired and low.

What happens is that if you mix in other people in your marriage union of love and wisdom the whole being is disintegrated and destroyed. Swedenborg described in detail how beings in heaven might start out as polygamous but in the end they abandoned it because they realized they could not raise their integrated being to higher and more wonderful realms in heaven. So even people who grew up in polygamous cultures dropped it after reaching a certain level in heaven.

A Divinely Inspired Marriage Leads To Eternal Life In Heaven

Is it possible to reach eternal life in heaven or is it merely an unattainable fantasy? If we take a look at Emanuel Swedenborg´s books from the 18th century he meant that this is possible but it demands two people who both understand which part they need to play in their relationship. The woman needs to give love and the man needs to supply the wisdom. As they communicate in this way they can increase their mutual love and wisdom as they continually improve their relationship and learns to adjust themselves to their spouse´s needs. In the end they will become like one person and after death this couple continues to be married and their marriage can last forever in heaven. This concept is similar to the Yin-Yang concept in China where both sides are interdependent of the other side in order to improve the whole being.

The precondition is that the marriage can´t only be based on carnal lust as these couples will grow tired of each other and look for new carnal pleasures outside of marriage.

There must be divine inspiration in marriage and it will finally lead to everlasting marital harmony and ever increasing potency according to Swedenborg. If spouses have divine faith and corresponding acts in their marriage man will become more and more potent and each time intercourse takes place both partners will be strengthened by it instead of dejected. In heaven the man has eternal potency to do it at any time he wishes to – which is when she wishes to do it - and the marriage will be strengthened each time they do it. In heaven love is heat and wisdom is light. So in heaven as well as on earth there is a Sun who gives heat and light and this represents the combination of love and wisdom. This can really balance and harmonize the Universe.

There is a hitch for spouses though: If a man can´t rule his wife he will become impotent. This was a heavenly secret that was revealed by Swedenborg to mankind. The angels said that this is their secret weakness.

Swedenborg states in his first sentence of his book: “Divine love and wisdom”:  ”LOVE IS THE LIFE OF MAN. Man knows that there is such a thing as love, but he does not know what love is.”

Swedenborg´s books became dynamite 270 years ago when they were published and he had to leave his native land of Sweden because of his controversial information regarding human life, marriage and divine faith in relationship to Christianity.

Swedenborg described that man creates his own heaven and hell on earth and he described how fantastic a marriage based on divine inspiration can be in his book “Marriage Love”:

“Those men who are in conjugial(marriage) love, are in such a state that they can enjoy intercourse with their wife as often as they please: the ability never fails, inasmuch as all parts of their body are in that love and, after intercourse, they are affected with joyfulness, and never with dejection, so that they are invigorated by it; but the contrary happens with those who are in adulteries. The husband’s love depends on the wife’s love; so far as she loves such things, so far does the husband. It is the reverse in love which is not conjugial. The reason is because the former are one, and are conjoined as to interiors: this is meant by their being not twain, but one flesh.”

Adultery Leads To Hell

The people who commit adultery are pulled down to hell and this phenomenon is also described in great detail by Swedenborg:

“Adultery is the union of the devil and those who are adulterers. It is the union of evil and falsity. Hell is adultery, and evil, also. There cannot be found any who say it is in themselves. The adulteration of the good of the Word, and the falsification of its truth, is adultery: many things about this. Adultery is opposed to creation.Adultery is the fundamental love of all evils. Adultery is the commingling of many lives(ie mistresses – editor´s remark) in one. Potency diminishes, and aversion takes place; it also becomes common, unaccompanied by any sensation, and, at last, there is aversion.”

Adultery is so great an evil, Swedenborg says, “that it may be called diabolism itself”. Those adulterers were going down to the most terrible hells and they loved filth and lived in filth according to Swedenborg. The logic is simple: these people create chaos in their bodies by mixing in too many beings.  This chaos leads to hell since everything which is disorderly quickly collapses naturally. 

A few concluding words of wisdom from Swedenborg:

“The love of marriage opens heaven. The love of adultery closes heaven.”
