Is marriage a spiritual union?

Socrates, allow me to ask you if that is Xanthippe by your side? 

No―answered Socrates, Xanthippe and myself were not mated. It was not her fault, poor lady, that I was a constant source of annoyance to her―we did not then understand the Law, which governs the True Union, and love did not abide with us. 

Heaven be praised―this is not Xanthippe, but my own true counterpart―in the germinal globe we were together, we are again united as an angel. Happy Socrates! 

This is also true of every angel present―all angels that exist throughout eternity―Jesus is no better than any other angel that is as wise and good as he. Natural laws are just the same to him that they are to all other men and angels. He is just as much of God, as we are, and no more.
