We want to see one another not only in the present life but also in the life to come.\"\n[The Blessed One said:] \"If both husband & wife want to see one another not only in the present life but also in the life to come, they should be in tune [with each other] in conviction, in tune in virtue, in tune in generosity, and in tune in discernment. Then they will see one another not only in the present life but also in the life to come.\"\nHusband & wife, both of them\nhaving conviction,\nbeing responsive,\nbeing restrained,\nliving by the Dhamma,\naddressing each other\nwith loving words:\nthey benefit in manifold ways.\nTo them comes bliss.\nTheir enemies are dejected\nwhen both are in tune in virtue.\nHaving followed the Dhamma here in this world,\nboth in tune in precepts & practices,\nthey delight in the world of the devas,\nenjoying the pleasures they desire.","title":"AN IV.55: Samajivina Sutta","type":"page"}
