"You are referring in the honorific title of Our Lady, one of the very many she bears, as Spouse of the Holy Spirit."

In Greek we sing a hymn written by +Romanos the Melodist in the early 6th century called the Akathist Hymn. There we call her "Nύμφη ἀνύμφευτε", Bride Unwedded!

Matthew 2:13 ff

13 Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.”
14 So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt. 15 He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON.”

Interesting that the Angel didn’t say, “Get up! Take your wife and child...” ;-D
