Why is the marriage bed considered undefiled?

Answered in 1 source

The marriage bed is considered undefiled because it represents the pure and holy union between husband and wife, as designed by God.

The concept of the marriage bed being undefiled is rooted in the understanding that it symbolizes the exclusive and sanctified physical relationship between a husband and wife. In Hebrews 13:4, the 'bed' refers to the intimate relationship that is protected and honored under God’s design for marriage. This union is meant to be a reflection of Christ’s unwavering commitment to His church, highlighting that such a relationship is pure and free from sin when partaken within the bounds of marriage. Therefore, any sexual activity outside of this union is considered defilement, a serious offense against God's purpose for marriage.
