Martin & Rose (2007: 128):
Because functions in hypotactic relations; the corresponding paratactic conjunction is so, and cohesive conjunctions include therefore, consequently:
I married to forget,
so my first marriage failed.

To be clear, these are simply grammatical relations — originally devised by Halliday (± Hasan) — that are rebranded here as Martin's logical discourse semantic relations (after Martin 1992).
In SFL Theory, hypotactic and paratactic relations of cause obtain structurally been clauses in a clause nexus, and realise a feature of the logical system of clause complexing.
The above cohesive relation of cause, on the other hand, obtains non-structurally between clause simplexes, and realises a feature of the textual system of cohesive conjunction.
