Answered in 4 sources

The Bible portrays the relationship between Christ and His church as one of deep unity and intimacy, often described in terms of marriage.

In Scripture, particularly in the Song of Solomon, the relationship between Christ and His church is illustrated as a marriage, conveying profound intimacy and unity. Christ calls His church 'my sister, my spouse', emphasizing that believers are united with Him both by nature and by choice. This relationship signifies that the church is made up of those redeemed individuals who were chosen in Christ and united with Him forever. Additionally, this relationship assures believers of their security in Christ, as He carries the responsibility for their salvation and maintains an everlasting bond with them.
