The Church is the Bride of Christ
Christ is the bridegroom who loves his bride, the Church. Christ gave himself up for his bride.
Saint Paul compared the intimate relationship between husband and wife with the intimate relationship between. Christ and the Church.
This relationship is a great mystery. The relationship between Christ and the Church can be described as two becoming one flesh.
For a married couple, sexual intercourse is a "sign" of unifying love. Christian marriage is an effective sign that shows faithfulness to God.
