On the topic of “being made for marriage” as raised by Lydia & Elaine (34 & 40):
Let me make sure that I am not misheard:
Humans – all humans are made for an ultimate marriage in which we experience ultimate intimacy. Where we are completely known, through our deepest faults and loved despite them. For a love so deep and so cleansing that it removes them from us at the cost to our Beloved. This is the Christian idea of marriage.

But this type of marriage for which we are all made is – just as I said in what I wrote above – something that no human marriage; which nothing on this earth, will ever come close to. This sort of marriage which we all need and for which we were all made is the reality of the relationship which God created and payed for to exist between Christ and the Church.

This does not mean that everyone needs or ought to be in a human marriage.

Hope that clarifies the apparent misunderstanding.
