How does the first marriage represent Christ and the church?

Answered in 1 source

The first marriage symbolizes the union between Christ and His church, showcasing love and redemption.

The first marriage serves as a profound representation of the relationship between Christ and the church, highlighting themes of love, sacrifice, and unity. Adam's declaration 'bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh' reveals the intimate union that is mirrored in the bond between Christ and His followers. Just as Adam had a bride created from himself, Christ, through His death, brings forth the church as His bride, who shares in His righteousness and glory. Moreover, the purity and intimacy of their relationship prior to sin reflect the perfect unity that believers will experience with Christ in eternity, free from sin and shame.
