Jesus was celibate. According to your statement that makes Him a pagan.

What do you think of “The Bride of Christ”?.. if just a metaphor.. What a metaphor..

Does Christ have a bride or Not?..
If he has a bride what does that mean(imply)?...
If Christ was or will be married what was the example provided..

Your opinion on this just may be premature possibly lame..
maybe even heresy.. to some(most)..

I would advise caution... maybe a re-think...

Does Christ have a bride or Not?

Matt 3:15
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

The New Testament is hardly a fraction of all the events that happened before, during, and after Jesus was alive on the earth.

If what's actually in the New Testament is to be taken literally, then yes, Jesus was married. Which fits because God Himself married Adam and Eve. Marriage = good in the eyes of God.

And if Paul's statement of...
1 Cor 11:11
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

... is to be taken literal, then Jesus, in order to be an example to His followers and in His own words, "fulfill all righteousness"... would have taken a wife.

The church is the bride of christ. According to St. Paul, Christ has “won” his bride, the Church, by giving his life for her, “the greatest possible demonstration of love.”
