Ephesians 1:22-23
And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Is this language of God giving Christ, "the head of all things," to the church meant to image the kingly Christ being given as a husband to his bride the church, implying the status that is gained by the church through such a union?
Is there elsewhere analogous language of a husband being given to a wife either scripturally or in contemporary or earlier literature?
