Our Lord Jesus Christ was celibate.
The Church of Christ (fellowship of the faithful) is the bride of Christ. The church is our mother. We being born to faith in the washing of regeneration.
So much imagery. Suffice it to say some theologians tend to “wander” back to Christ’s entombment as the ultimate act of love for his bride. Married at the Cross. Consummated in the tomb. Birthed at The Font.
YMMV
