Why is Christ referred to as the Lamb's wife in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Christians, as the church, are referred to as the Lamb's wife, symbolizing their union and intimate relationship with Him.

The reference to Christians as the Lamb's wife in Revelation illustrates the profound and intimate relationship between Christ and His church. This metaphor is rooted in the covenantal love that Christ has for His people, where He sacrificially gave Himself to redeem them. Ephesians 5 elaborates on this mystery, emphasizing that just as a husband loves his wife, Christ loves the church, cleansing her and presenting her as holy. This relationship signifies belonging, commitment, and the ultimate purpose of believers to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. The imagery also expresses the joy and celebration that will take place as the church is united with Christ in eternal fellowship in God's paradise.
