The Bible says, "for the Lord will be your husband." Jesus mentioned many times that when He comes back, it will be for His 'bride.' He likened it to the (Jewish) tradition of when He walked the earth, when the groom surprised his bride, and came to get her in the middle of the night, and she had better be ready. I personally believe that God created marriage, to show the special kind of love He has for us. He could have made us all the same, no males, no females, no marriage, but He didn't. I've heard many people say that romantic love is like heaven on earth; those wonderful feelings you get when you're in love.
I think it's awesome that God created sex as the bond between a man and woman in marriage. I think it has overtones of what happens when we get the Holy Spirit in us at salvation. It is a blending of two spirits, they become ONE. When we get the Holy Spirit, we blend with God, and we become one with Him. He is the lover of our soul. The Old Testament has many examples of God saying He's a jealous God, and thinks of the 'church' (His people) as His lover. He doesn't want us 'messing around' with the world - He gets jealous. He wants us to Himself.
When everyone else on this planet lets you down, and they will because they are human, God will NEVER let you down. He promises to never leave you or forsake you. As a true Christian, Jesus is your fiance right now. And He's coming back for His 'bride' soon - and you have to be ready, because it will be in the twinkling of an eye....
and when you least suspect it.
