It follows from this that in marriage a wife's will is linked with her husband's intellect, and the husband's intellect is reciprocally linked with his wife's will.

Quod Voluntas uxoris se conjungat cum Intellectu viri, et inde Intellectus viri cum Voluntate uxoris; causa est, quia Masculus nascitur ut fiat intellectus, ac Foemina ut fiat Voluntas amans intellectum masculi; ex quo sequitur, quod Conjunctio conjugialis sit Voluntatis uxoris cum Intellectu viri, et reciproca Intellectus viri cum Voluntate uxoris: quisque videt, quod propinquissima conjunctio sit Intellectus et Voluntatis; et quod sit talis, ut una facultas possit intrare in alteram, ac delectari ex conjunctione, et in illa.
