  The Bride of Christ
After this public profession, the young woman is told that she has become the bride of Christ and must consecrate herself to God “until death”.
The Holy Scriptures state that the Bride of Christ or Body of Christ is comprised of those who are born again into a living relationship with God through Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-14).
The Bible refers to this union as the “Church.” Over the centuries, the Bride of Christ has continued to grow as people are reconciled to the living God through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary.

 Boundless: Here Come the Brides?
It was only in the past year or two that I began pondering the notion that we are all brides of Christ, which I had picked up from reading Christian books and magazines and listening to contemporary Christian music.
But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.
Saying that the Bride of Christ is the Church doesn’t necessarily rule out the idea that each Christian soul — allegorically speaking — relates to Christ as a "bride." But problems arise when Christians — especially women — cease to think of this as an analogy and take things to an extreme.
