Adjective

conjugial ‎(not comparable)

1. A form of "conjugal" used by Swedenborg and his followers, used to distinguish their ideas about marital relations.
   • 2006, Marsha Keith Schuchard, Why Mrs Blake Cried, Pimlico 2007, p. 156:

     Claiming that he had ‘new information from heaven’, Swedenborg revealed that pre-marital sex with prostitutes or a mistress is not sinful, as long as the man maintains a belief in true conjugial love.

   • 1875, Emanuel Swedenborg (tr. unknown), Heaven and its wonders and ****, p246

     When this conjunction, which is of the interiors, descends into the inferiors, which are of the body, it is perceived and felt as love; that love is conjugial love.
