hells, and for the reason that through marriage love man has conjunction
with the Lord, and the Lord alone has power over all the hells; also
because through marriage love man has heaven and the church;
consequently as the Lord unceasingly protects heaven and the church from
the evils and falsities that rise up from the hells, so He protects all
who are in true marriage love, because such and no others have heaven
and the church. For heaven and the church are a marriage of good and
truth, from which is marriage love, as has been said above. And this is
why through marriage love man has peace, which is inmost joy of heart
from a complete safety from the hells and a protection from infestations
of the evil and falsity therefrom. (A.E., n. 999.)

Those who are in true marriage love, when after death they become
angels, return to their early manhood and to youth, the males, however
spent with age, becoming young men, and the wives, however spent with
age, becoming maidens. Each of the married pair returns to the flower
and joy of the age when marriage love begins to exalt the life with new
delights, and to inspire playfulness for the sake of prolification. The
man who while he lived in the world had shunned adulteries as sins, and
who has been inaugurated by the Lord into marriage love, comes into this
state first outwardly and afterward more and more interiorly to
eternity.

As such continue to grow young more interiorly it follows that true
marriage love continually increases and enters into its charms and
satisfactions, which have been provided for it from the creation of the
world, and which are the charms and satisfactions of the inmost heaven,
arising from the love of the Lord for heaven and the church, and thus
from the love of good for truth and truth for good, which loves are the
source of every joy in the heavens. Man thus grows young in heaven
