Marriage is fundamentally a spiritual union from "summary" of Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller

Marriage is not merely a social contract, a legal agreement, or a romantic partnership. It is something far deeper and more significant than any of these things. At its core, marriage is a spiritual union between two people, a joining together of souls that goes beyond physical and emotional connection. This spiritual aspect of marriage is what sets it apart from all other human relationships. It is the foundation upon which everything else in a marriage is built. When two people come together in marriage, they are committing not just to each other, but to a shared journey of spiritual growth and transformation. In this spiritual union, couples are called to love and serve each other in a way that reflects the sacrificial love of Christ for his church. This means putting the needs and desires of one's spouse above one's own, and seeking to build each other up in faith and love. Marriage is also a means of grace, a way in which God works in and through us to shape us into the people he created us to be. Through the challenges and joys of married life, we have the opportunity to grow in patience, kindness, forgiveness, and selflessness.
  1. Marriage is a reflection of the relationship between Christ and his church. Just as Christ loves and cares for his church, so too are husbands and wives called to love and care for each other. This spiritual union is what gives marriage its true meaning and purpose, and it is what sustains couples through the trials and tribulations of life together.
