The Love of Husband and Wife

You need to go through the love of husband and wife to establish the four-position foundation. Only then can you experience the hearts of children and the hearts of parents.

1. Sacrifice goes hand in hand with love. The way of love flows downward, making sacrifices. This makes everything smooth. Without sacrifice, everything is thrown out of balance. It is the same for what we call conjugal love, which is the working of the heart that provides balance in the family.

If you move alone and independently, problems arise. But as love grows bigger, it spills over to fill even the lowest places. Thus, even people living in a slum can nurture the dream of love.

They can say, “Since we came here out of our search for love, happiness is right here,” and they will want to settle and live there. (541-332, 2006.10.10) 

Through conjugal love, too we experience God's love 

2. You need to go through the love of husband and wife to establish the four-position foundation. Only then can you experience the hearts of children and the hearts of parents.

Man is the male or yang's image of God, and woman is the female or yin's image of God. A married couple is like heaven and earth wrapped up together in a cloth. Therefore, they can feel the heart of God's ideal love.

The four-position foundation is the cornerstone of the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven. One individual cannot establish the kingdom of heaven by himself or herself. (13-067, 1963.10.17)

3. The place where a husband and wife unite in conjugal love is where they can experience the love of God, who created Adam and Eve and all the things of creation.

Since in this place, they become perfect representative children, brothers and sisters, husband and wife, and parents, they stand in the position of second creators, centered on the mind and body, in the position of God, the first Creator.

Because that place is filled with the love of children, of brothers and sisters, of husband and wife, and of parents, they stand in the position of both second creator and object partner. God gave them children so they could feel His joy of creation. Children are the princes and princesses of the kingdom of heaven.
(239-240, 1992.11.25) 

4. God's love, which is parental love, is vertical, and the love of a man and a woman is horizontal. 

The man and woman's task is to engraft their horizontal love into vertical love. That is how the two can meet. The two loves can join nowhere but at a ninety-degree angle.

A love that does not fit this, a love that does not meet the vertical standard, will drift around. Such love will eventually perish. 

When horizontal love connects to vertical love at an exact ninety-degree angle, energy is produced that can spread that love's influence in all directions. Hence, when you enter the realm of love where the vertical and horizontal are aligned, you will be able to rule the whole universe through love.

You will have a relationship with the whole universe. There you will not want knowledge, power, money, or even life. Life also exists eternally within love. (136-204, 1985.12.29)

5. You have to know the value of human life. A husband is the representative of God; a wife is also the representative of God. A mother and a father, and each of you also, are God's representatives.

A husband represents four generational positions: grandfather, father, husband, and son. An heir and heiress couple then appears, representing these four loves. That is why conjugal love is so precious.

When conjugal love breaks down, all human love grandparents' love, parents' love, and sibling love is shattered and dispersed.

This is natural because people live to serve God in this universe. Starting from each person, the love of grandparents, parents, and siblings begins to bud. Upon the foundation of thousands of years of life connections through lineage and horizontal multiplication, there emerges a tribe based on the families, a people based on the tribes, a nation based on the peoples, a world, and then the kingdom of heaven. (224-244, 1991.11.24) 

6. After you marry, you cannot behave just as you like. You should live in such a way that you can receive the love of God. Human beings are born as a man or a woman for the sake of love. The husband and wife are to become one through love. What happens when two beings, separated according to the dual characteristics of God, come together in a perfect union?

They receive the love of God. To receive God's love, a woman unites with a man and a man unites with a woman. Otherwise, there is no way to encounter God's love. Only through God's love can you stand in the same place He stands. You can stand next to God.

Why did God request this degree of love from Adam and Eve? It is because only based on this degree of love can people unite as one with God. Conjugal love is meant to connect with God's love.

When you receive God's love, you can stand in the same place as He. In the presence of the concept that is called conjugal love, a man and woman stand firmly in the same position. In love, two become one. 

They cannot depart from each other. They have collective responsibility always. (144-133, 1986.04.12)

7. The question is whether a man and woman are united in mind and body. As much as the whole cosmos likes this perfect unity, it can occur only on the foundation of true love.

As a man or as a woman, the question is whether you stand in that position of perfect oneness. Today this is the problem that philosophy and religion have to solve.

We have not realized that a man needs a wife and a woman needs a husband. For a man, the being of greatest value is his wife; for a woman, the being of greatest value is her husband. Before meeting God, a man needs his wife and a woman needs her husband. The unity in flesh, the oneness of husband and wife, is based on love. (247-093, 1993.04.25)

8. Love is the coming together of east, west, north, and south as one sphere. It is also the coming together of heaven and earth. This is to possess the universe. What is the purpose of marriage? Its purpose is also to possess the universe. It is to possess God.

A husband represents the east and high places; a wife represents the west and deep places. When these two unite in love, they can possess heaven and earth. They can possess God and the universe. (225-046, 1992.01.01)

9. A family whose husband and wife love God and humankind, and unite in an explosion of love for one another, enraptures God and the universe. Such love cannot but be oriented toward God and humankind.

The root of this love lies not within the husband and wife themselves. God is the source of this love. (35-240, 1970.10.19) 

10. When we speak of man and woman, we are speaking of the horizontal plane. When we adopt a vertical standpoint, we speak of above and below. Because all ideal forms are drawn based on the realm of the object partner, all words are spoken for the sake of the object partner.

When we speak of human beings, there are men and women. What unites men and women? Keep in mind: each makes up half of the human world. The common denominator among all groups of people, no matter how large, is that they are composed of men and women.

In each, there will be bad men and bad women as well as good, but still,l we can divide the membership of groups composed of any kind of people into two: men and women. The force that drives these two to unite is love, not money, knowledge, or power. (198-071, 1990.01.21) 

11. When a man and a woman love each other, various things happen. When you know the way to God, when you taste God's love, you realize that nothing on earth can compare with it. No suffering or sorrow can defeat one who has tasted that love.

Please know this and attend God as our Father. Become sons and daughters who resemble God. Money and power do not transform us into sons and daughters of God.

One who has tasted God's love is called to live according to divine law, uphold God's dignity and authority, and protect His glory. God's sons and daughters will never lead trivial, insignificant lives. (39-240, 1971.01.15) 

12. Loving one another as brothers and sisters set up the foundation for conjugal love. This path restores three types of love that God had no opportunity to experience: sibling love, conjugal love, and children's love.

When you harmonize these three types of love in your family, you can give and receive God's love. Within the family, we strive to realize God's ideal of creation. This is the cosmos-centered thought of the Unification Church.
(35-243, 1970.10.19) 

13. On the way of restoration, as we couples work for the sake of the original world, we should always feel the heart and ideal that God felt at the time of the Creation. Consumed with that feeling, we should risk our lives as we proceed along this path with a heart of gratitude, willing only one thing.

From now on, this is the course by which blessed families will realize the purpose of creation. It may cause us suffering, but that is not the intention. God asks us to go this way so we may receive the even more bountiful blessings He has stored up for us.

To know this evokes immense gratitude. We couple who were brought together through heart and love are called to build with that love. We are to build a family that goes beyond the realm of daily life.

That family should go beyond life itself and be one with God's purpose. Otherwise, we cannot return to God's dwelling place, the kingdom of heaven. This is the purpose of creation, so we have to move toward making such families.
(35-180, 1970.10.13)

Inseparable loving couples 

14. Man was born for women; woman was born for man. A woman keeps a man's most precious treasure; a man keeps a woman's most precious treasure. They exchange these treasures with each other. 

Because a man entrusted his treasure to a woman, he cannot separate from her. Because a woman entrusted her treasure to a man, she cannot separate from him. This is the linkage of love. Therefore, a woman owns a man's love, and a man owns a woman's love.

Throughout history, men, and women have been unfaithful to each other. Furtively they steal from the owner, and now the whole world is corrupt and declining. The woman has the key to the man's love, and the man has the key to the woman's love. (142-039, 1986.03.03) 

15. The love I value above my life is not my own; it belongs to my partner. That's why a man's wife owns what he possesses, and a woman's husband owns what she possesses.

We face each other as owners. However, husbands play around, as if what they possess is their own; they wander about, cheating. This has destroyed everything. Wives are just as bad. Your reproductive organ is not yours. It has one owner, and that is not you.

We are talking about ownership based on love, love that makes all the cells of your body come alive. A husband desires that his wife own him with this love, and a wife desires that her husband own her with this love. (140-290, 1986.02.14)

16. Nothing a wife has is her own. That which is horizontal belongs to her baby; that which is vertical belongs to her husband. It is easy for a wife to think, “I have this, so it's mine.”

What a woman has, she does not need for herself. The one who needs what she has is a man. What a man has, he doesn't need for himself. The one who needs what he has is a woman. God switched the ownership between husband and wife. They have convex and concave aspects; this was the only way to bring about husband-wife unity. 

There is no other way to create that oneness. When God created the reproductive organs, He said, “These are the most precious things in heaven and earth.” If a brave and ambitious man gets rid of everything but keeps what he wants most for himself, and if a woman keeps what she wants most for herself, there is no stimulation.

You feel stimulation due to your object partner. So what a woman possesses is owned by a man, her husband, and what a man possesses is owned by a woman, his wife. If they treat these as their own, the great and divine law of heaven and earth will be violated. (258-027, 1994.03.16)

17. If a man insisted on absolute ownership over his reproductive organ, and a woman did the same with hers, both would remain exactly where they are without moving for all eternity.

This is not right. To have the other come to my side, and for me to go to the other's side, ownership should be exchanged. Marital love is this kind of action. The value of the action of giving and receiving appears only when the ownership of the reproductive organs has been exchanged through marriage.

When a wife faces her husband, is her reproductive organ her own? The owner of the wife's organ of love is her husband. The owner of a husband's organ of love is his wife. Since we haven't realized this until now, the world has become licentious. This law is absolute.

This is why marital love is great because, in it, ownership is exchanged absolutely. (140-245, 1986.02.12) 

18. What is the difference between a man and a woman? First, their bodies, including their reproductive organs, are different. With that in mind, who needs the male reproductive organ? 

And who needs the female reproductive organ? The male reproductive organ exists for a woman, and that of the female exists for a man. One is convex and the other is concave: why are they made like that?

Why were they not both made pointed, or both made flat? Why were they made different? It is because everything exists for the sake of another. This is why the woman should value her husband's organ, and the man should value his wife's organ.

We have not recognized that, on this basis, the woman's reproductive organ belongs to her husband, and the man's reproductive organ belongs to his wife. (299-120, 1999.02.07) 

19. When you listen to a person's voice, you can tell what gender that person is. Whose voices are higher, men's or women's? Women's voices are higher. Why is it that women's voices are pitched higher than men's, even though women have less physical strength than men?

In terms of heart and affection, women are higher while men are broader. Men love broadly. Women are higher, focusing on love for their husbands and children, but men have a broader heart of love for their tribe and country.

This is why we learn from our mother how to love our sons and daughters and our family, and from our father how to love the world. That's how it is. Weaving these characteristics of love together creates a sphere of harmony. (129-055, 1983.10.01) 

20. Nowadays, people tend to be self-centered, thinking, “As long as I'm fine, everything is okay.” 

But now is the time to discard egoism and share our love with everyone around us. The family is the place for this. A happy family is one in which the husband comes home after work, discusses with his wife everything that happened to him during the day, and plans new projects together with her.

A happy family strives together to discover new things. When parents set such an example, the children want to contribute too; they will participate gladly in making such a family. (29-114, 1970.02.25)

21. The place of conjugal love is the flower of the whole universe. A wife is a composite of all people in the Museum of Human History. She is the flower of her entire lineage.

God is present on her wedding night. After waiting throughout history, finally, God can settle in the joyful place of a man and woman's love. How awesome is this place! She must think, “I have the role to open the way, to reconnect the broken path, and to explode in love as a perfect minus, where this has never been done before.”

From here, the bright sun of love rises above heaven and earth. When a man enters his wife's room, he should do so as the embodiment of love and the ideal.
(179-091, 1988.07.22) 

22. A life with love as its center resolves everything. Even the tiger-like eyes of a greedy old man, when he is in love, will take on the shape of the moon in a painting, and his frozen mouth will break into a smile.

Love can completely thaw out things that have been frozen – or freeze something that has melted. Love can encompass extremes and go still further. If you look at the Chinese character ho (好), meaning “good,” it combines characters for a female person and a male person.

When a husband and wife fight, there appears to be no way to reconcile them, so what's good about that? Yet if the two of them are in love, even after fighting ten times they can come together again.

That's the enormous power of love. There is a saying that a fight between a husband and wife is like cutting water with a knife. 

When you cut water with a knife, it doesn't leave a trace. Likewise, even after fighting, a couple can put their foreheads together and giggle, and everything is settled. Only with love can peace come. (127-245, 1983.05.15) 

The holy of holies and the original palace of love 

23. The way of love means searching for the place that is God's holy of holies. The Tabernacle was not the ultimate holy of holies. Fallen people built that Tabernacle.

Of greater value than the Tabernacle is the place where God's original love before the Fall can be found. The reproductive organs of men and women are the real holy of holies. If you misuse them, you will be struck by lightning.

Just as God struck and killed any Israelite who violated the Holy of Holies, if we misuse our Holy of Holies we will bring ruin to heaven and earth. Husband and wife have to be the high priests responsible for protecting love. A couple becomes the high priests who protect love. They are the high priests who pass God's love on to the next generation. (144-227, 1986.04.24) 

24. The reproductive organs of men and women are the treasure store of the heavenly nation's royal palace. Even God cannot do whatever He wants with them. The owner of a man's reproductive organ is a woman, his wife; the owner of a woman's reproductive organ is a man, her husband.

Because God is the King of wisdom, in marriage He exchanges their ownership. Since these are the most precious treasures, to own them, a husband and wife must treat one another as the most precious beings.

They must treat each other as more valuable than their life, more valuable than their children. (194-346, 1989.10.30)

25. Both men and women have a place that is the holy of holies. This place cannot be bought with money. You can say, “Surely it is true, I cannot buy love for all the heaven and earth.” This is because love is the holy of holies.

The holy of holies is the place that is connected with the center of the universe, and whoever is in this place can enjoy the privilege of becoming the owner of everything. Everything is in the holy of holies. It owns everything. Which is more precious, life or love?

This has not been defined in human history. Why is love precious? No matter how much life there is, neither a man's life nor a woman's life can take the place of love. Life itself has no connection to the holy of holies. Only in love can we connect with that place. Therefore, love is more precious than life. (132-072, 1984.05.20)

26. Through marriage and the meeting of their reproductive organs, two half-beings become complete. Man becomes complete through woman's love. Women become complete through men's love. 

Man perfects woman, woman perfects man. They become one through true love. In that place, two lives come together as one, with love at the center. That place is the crucible where man's blood and woman's blood become one. From this place come sons and daughters.

This place is more precious than your sons and daughters, your spouse, and even God. It is a place that is more precious than your children, your spouse, and even your parents. If the reproductive organs did not exist, parents, husbands and wives, and sons and daughters would be of no value.

Since this place is that precious, the treasure of treasures, it is kept protected, and hidden from public view for an entire lifetime. Furthermore, the wife owns the key that can unlock a man's reproductive organ, and the husband owns the key to hers. (280-200, 1997.01.01) 

27. The reproductive organs, with which a man and woman make love, are the original palace of love, the original palace of life, and the original palace of lineage.

Your grandfather and grandmother live holding on to this palace; your mother and father live holding on to it; your couple lives holding on to it; and your sons and daughters to come in the future also will live holding on to it. Then why have we turned this into something base and vulgar?

The name of this original palace is very holy. We must uphold it with holiness. It is because of it that eternal love is connected, and from it that eternal life and eternal lineage appear.

It is the most precious thing. That is why whoever violates this will not be welcome in the world of life, the world of love, and the record of history.
(210-101, 1990.12.01) 

28. Because of the Fall, we have misperceived, mistreated, and abused the word “love” to this day. In truth, love is the original, holy palace. The original place of love is the holy palace, the most precious place.

The palace door cannot be opened just as you please. Only when you become the king and queen of love can you open that palace do?r. This is the original tradition of love for all people. The king and queen who have True Parents can open that palace door.

From that palace, that original palace, God's beloved sons and daughters are born. (128-326, 1983.10.02) 

29. Your organ of love is more important than your brain. The origin of true love is not in your brain. 

The origin of true lineage is not in your brain. Where is that origin? It is in the reproductive organ. Everything is in the reproductive organ. In there is life, in there is love, and in there is lineage.

It is the original palace of love. We also find the root of life and lineage residing there. This is the most precious place, not only in the human body but also in the world and throughout history. Without it, the multiplication of humankind would be impossible. (203-105, 1990.06.17)

30. In the Old Testament, we find terms such as “holy place” and “holy of holies.” The holy place symbolizes a person, and the holy of holies symbolizes the house of love, the house in which you can love.

Every person has his or her holy place and holy of holies. In other words, the holy place is a house where you can attend to God. As for the holy of holies, since only God has the privileged dominion of love over it, it is the place where you come into a relationship with God.

The holy of holies is the place where you connect to Heaven. It is where you create a direct relationship with God. If you wonder where that place is, it is your reproductive organ. No one can touch this.

There are surely not two high priests serving the holy of holies. There is only one. Long ago, the one who had the key to Eve's holy of holies was Adam, and the one who had the key to Adam's holy of holies was Eve. (132-246, 1984.06.20)

31. Love begins with investment. True love begins with the act of giving. This is a universal principle. Because the universe moves according to this law and its rules have this content, if you act only to receive, that is a betrayal of the universe.

Heavenly fortune will repel that. When you have a mutual relationship between subject and object partners, the universe protects you, and you grow until you meet your object partner.

When you grow up, you have to meet your partner. If you cannot do this, you have no way to go. The heart of a man wanting to marry a woman and of a woman wanting to marry a man comes from the universal force. (219-186, 1991.08.29) 

32. When you have a mutual relationship between subject and object partners, the universe protects you. But if you have no such relationship based on love, the repelling force of the universe will cause you to feel pain and regret. Why do you feel pain when you are sick?

When a husband or wife passes away, why does the other feel sorrow? In both cases, the universal force makes you feel that way; it is a function of the universal force. This force protects the subject and object partners. If the two come into conflict, the universal force repels them. Without a subject and object partnership, new things cannot arise.

Therefore, as long as you preserve your relationship as subject and object partners, the balancing force of the universe will protect both of you as its object partners. If something is missing, the universal force will repel you, and your suffering will be so great that you will cry, “I want to die!” (219-186, 1991.08.29)

33. The infinitely vast universe is a place in which subject and object partners share a common purpose. It has the power to protect itself as it protects and nurtures entities comprised of subject and object partners.

If subject and object partners do not unite, however, the universe repels them. This is how existence can continue forever. This supportive energy is called attraction, and the opposing energy is called repulsion. They can also be called acceptance and rejection. (89-224, 1976.11.27) 

34. When your mind and body are united, you receive the protection of the universal force, and you feel happy, but when your mind and body are not united, you encounter opposition from this same force and you feel pain. By this principle, disease causes pain.

When subject and object partners are out of balance in your body, the universal protective force is lost and as a result, you feel pain.

A doctor prescribes medicine to stimulate harmonious interaction between subject and object partners. As it is with the physical body, it is for the individual and the family. (89-225, 1976.11.27)

35. Once a couple is married, they do not like interference from others. After marriage, when the subject and object partners are united, they feel happy and content under the protection of the universal force.

At that time, if a second man or woman interferes, it presents a danger that the couple's unified energy will be disturbed. So there is a repulsion. The protective energy accelerates the perfection of the couple so they can live eternally.

Similarly, electricity functions smoothly when plus and minus interact, but if plus and come into proximity, or minus and minus, there is a repulsion. All existing beings function in this way. By the same law, a good relationship between subject and object partners brings stability and joy. (89-225, 1976.11.27) 

36. Why do we feel sad when our father or mother passes away? It is because the universal force they embodied is swept away. We should go to the spirit world only after experiencing the love of our mother and father, love as parents for our children, and our love as a child for our parents.

Only then does resonance occur through 360 degrees. When a woman's husband dies, she experiences a big void in a part of her life. The fortune of heaven and earth protects that which beats in accord with its rhythm. But when her husband dies, that rhythm is lost.

All the force of heaven that he embodied is swept away. This sweeping away is experienced as pain. When you suffer from illness, it is similar. When you lack something, the force that expelled it from the protective realm of the universe and heavenly fortune causes you pain.

The pain is the result of such an expulsion. Because it alerts us to protect the balance, this pain supports continuity. (202-088, 1990.05.06) 

The principles of absolute sex and education for true love 

37. The thing that is necessary for a man is not convex. For him, convex repels. There is no happiness there. That which is convex needs what is concave. When absolute convex meets absolute concave, God is there, and when it is not like that, God leaves.

The fact that it is not like that means that Satan's lineage remains. Even though 98 percent may be done, if so much as a shadow of Satan's lineage remains, God cannot come down.

God can find your family and become its Lord only when vertical and horizontal meet at a ninety-degree angle based on absolute sex, absolute partnership, and absolute love. (331-077, 2000.08.29) 

38. There is only one true love. The first love must be that which unites one husband and one wife. 

There truly must be only one true love. This is what absolute sex means. Absolute sex will eliminate the attraction of “free” sex. Do you think a woman's fluttering eyes belong to her? No, they are her husband.

If she makes sidelong glances at another man, in her spirit self her eyes are rotting and her bones are dissolving. The universe does not countenance violations of this principle of one true love.

It is incompatible with salvation. God will expel her. She can be restored only through tens of thousands of generations of descendants. (282-326, 1997.04.07) 

39. We know the concept of fidelity. In Korea, who is the lady who represents fidelity? Her name is Chunhyang. Korea is a country of moral traditions that value fidelity. The model's faithful wife is Chunhyang.

The model daughter of filial piety is Shimchung. You ladies, you should be better than Chunhyang, better than Shimchung. Governor Byun asked Chunhyang to come to him, but she rejected him. Even risking your life, you have to be able to do the same in such a situation.

Since you are born for love, if you sacrifice your life to resist false love, ultimately, you will be revived in resplendent true love. (282-327, 1997.04.07) 

40. In a woman's mind, the most elevated state and the deepest misery are both related to love. If women are like that, what about men? Sure, men are gruff and assertive, but who has a more loving heart, women, or men?

Men more than women tend to suffer from being lovesick. This is because men have embracing hearts. A woman's love goes in one direction at a time, but a man's love covers all four directions. As a man's love can scan in all directions, this can lead to many conflicts in love. (166-215, 1987.06.07) 

41. It is not a question of virtue. Once a man is infatuated with a woman and becomes lovesick, he will be ready to sacrifice his money, knowledge,e, and power. Even if he is lying on a bed of gold, he will lose it all with no thought to his dignity. He will just want to follow that woman.

If God enjoys true love, when someone appears as His object of true love, it's not a question of holiness; He too must follow that love. (168-174, 1987.09.20) 

Academic study does not teach us love 

42. People do not need to study to know how to love. When a man and woman marry, they don't need someone to teach them how to behave on their wedding night. In the world of insects, there is no sex education, but they know very well what to do, and human beings are the lords of creation one is incapable of conjugal love, so no education for that is necessary.

If God had made men and women need such education to love and become complete, then God would not be omnipotent. Without a need for sex education, you know the way of love. By practicing it, you obtain a qualification that can transcend heaven and earth, the whole world of creation. (266-231, 1995.01.01)

43. Did you learn how to love your family? What kind of father would tell his child to learn how to love from him? Furthermore, does a mother tell her child to learn how to love from her?

Furthermore, did the parents learn from someone how to love their children? Did the bride and bridegroom learn from someone that they should love in a certain way? They were not taught it, but they knew it well. This is something truly mysterious. (23-020, 1969.05.11) 

44. Does someone instruct parents on how to love their children? You women gathered here, when your babies were born, did you have to be taught how to love them? Is there a school somewhere that teaches love? There is no such school, but everyone attains a perfect score in this.

The more you feel your love is not enough, the closer you are to perfect love. That which is perfect does not need to be learned or improved. That which does not need adjustment is completed. That which is complete does not change, and that which does not change goes on for eternity. (38-228, 1971.01.08)

47. True love is attained through life experience and is understood through the spiritual senses. True love is not something that can be mastered through words, writing, or general education.

Its complete attainment comes only by living it. In their process of growing from infancy, Adam and Eve were supposed to reach perfection by experiencing and understanding daily life, through their spiritual senses, the heart of true children, the heart of true brother and sister, the heart of true husband and wife, and the heart of true parents, step by step.

When they experienced the whole of God's true love, then for the first time the world would have seen ideal people who had perfected the purpose of creation. (277-197, 1996.04.16)

Children’s Love
1. In the parent-child relationship, if the parents’ love is the cause, the children are the fruit and result of love. The result and the cause do not begin separately but in the same place. The result and cause start from one place. What does it mean to say, “My
