You may recall that a man(homo) only becomes a man(homo) by conjugial love.This is because conjugial love is love to the Lord (*Marriage n.7*) and those who are in love truly conjugial will to be one man (homo), but those not in conjugial love will to be two (*CL n.L215*). I believe The One Man principle wills to be two, and thus becomes less and less a man(h), because it wills to regenerate individually through the union of its own good and truth, and not by the marriage of one man(vir) with one wife. The male and female were created to be the very form of the marriage of good and truth (*CL n.100*). Two married partners are that form in their inmosts (*CL101*), and hence in the things that follow therefrom, according as the interiors of their mind are opened by the Word. Conjugial love principally has its seat with wives (*Marriage Index n.93*), and husbands receive it from their wives. The reason is that wives are by birth forms of love (*CL n. 216*), so that it is innate in them to wish to be one with their husbands. But it is different with husbands; since they are not by birth forms of love, but designed to receive that love, which is heaven itself from their wives. >From these considerations it follows that this love to the Lord is derived from no other source than the conjugial love implanted in every woman (*CL n.393*).
