Thank you so much for sharing your musings and insights!

On the first one:

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. – Ephesians 5:28-32

And on the second one:

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. – Matt 22:28-32

I love the Scriptures! They hide Truth in plain sight. One can know them like the back of his hand and yet have no understanding if he doesn’t also know the power of God.

The parables and metaphors are excellent examples:

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. – Matthew 13:10-16

Again, all of those people were physically hearing the parables – the pressure waves, the sound waves, were registering in their ears – but they were not spiritually hearing them. They could not understand. They did not know the power of God.

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:26-27

[ Again, all of those people were physically hearing the parables – the pressure waves, the sound waves, were registering in their ears – but they were not spiritually hearing them. They could not understand. They did not know the power of God. ]

Another set of wonderful "hidden" verses of scripture..
Hiding "some of" the power of God.. overtly sneaky I'd say..

Amazing, this God, that can speak.... and UNdesignated "material" then designates itself into designated "material".. That can speak a solar system into place or human eyes where none were before... Lttle wonder the devils tremble at that power..

And they know(the devils) that this one is grooming for a "wife"...
They would be idiots not to fight these two forces coming together..
The Bride and the Groom..

Tickets to the marriage feast are a universal honor..
Just to attend as a guest of either of them is a delicious thought..
Oh my, what will the two of them build together?..

What will they do together after the wedding?..
There must be much planned to happen, else why a wedding?...
Maranatha Jesus..
