When a man marries, he must "leave behind" (one who on being called away cannot take another with him) his parents - implied for the wife with her parents also - and be fully committed and one with his wife as a new family union. So we are to be one with Christ, leaving the old love of the world behind as we become one with Him. This is the hidden truth of us as Christ's wife/bride. So we are to love and respect each other as we do Christ and He us...
Ephesians 5:31-33
“ For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
