4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. -Matthew 19:4-6 King James Version (KJV)
Marriage symbolises the literal unity we all will experience one day with our Soul mate in order to enter into the Higher Planes of Heaven.

Conjugial Love, by Emanuel Swedenborg, [1768] at sacred-texts.com

V. THOSE WHO ARE IN LOVE TRULY CONJUGIAL, CONTINUALLY DESIRE TO BE ONE MAN, BUT THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN CONJUGIAL LOVE, DESIRE TO BE TWO. Conjugial [or marital] love essentially consists in the desire of two to become one; that is, in their desire that two lives may become one life... Those who are in love truly conjugial, continually endeavour, that is, desire to be one man. That the contrary is the case with those who are not in conjugial love, they themselves very well know; for as they continually think themselves two from the disunion of their souls and minds, so they do not comprehend what is meant by the Lord's words, "_They are no longer two, but one flesh_;" Matt. xix. 6.

Good and truth conjoined in an angel or a man are not two but one... and this is why a married pair in heaven are not called two, but one angel. This also is what is meant by the Lord's words: Have ye not read that He who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they twain shall become one flesh? Therefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh. What, therefore, God hath joined together let not man put asunder. Not all can receive this word but they to whom it is given (Matt. 19:4-6, 11; Mark 10:6-9; Gen. 2:24). This is a description both of the heavenly marriage in which the angels are and of the marriage of good and truth, "man's not putting asunder what God has joined together" meaning that good is not to be separated from truth...

I heard an angel describing true marriage love and its heavenly delights in this manner: That it is the Lord's Divine in the heavens, which is Divine good and Divine truth so united in two persons, that they are not as two but as one... He wondered that the man of the church should know nothing about this, seeing that the church is the Lord's heaven on the earth, and heaven is a marriage of good and truth...
As I understand it, from the point of view of the Higher Worlds or Planes, on the Higher Soul Plane, our Higher Self or I AM Presence, is an Individualisation of God as a single entity represented by the creation of Adam. On the Soul Plane and Higher Mental Plane I believe that we were divided into both a male and female Soul, known as Soul mates or Twin Rays, represented by the creation of Eve. In Eckankar the Eck Master Paul Twitchell teaches that; "God decided to split the soul of man and make of him two souls... No soul can enter into the worlds above the plane of Sat Lok [Soul Plane] without being complete within itself -without having both completed the cycle of balance and entering into the oneness with its own other self... and in the end becoming the male or the original soul as God first put on earth... The soul will come together again upon the 5th plane [Soul Plane] and there be rejoined before it becomes eligible for entering any of the higher worlds... It is true that there are women saints upon the dual planes [or lower Planes of duality] but they never enter into the true heaven as the feminine soul -that soul eventually finds her soul mate and at some period of life will enter into him, and he into her to become one for God's great plan... All souls must undergo this process even... Jesus... to become Gods themselves." (The Tiger's Fang by Paul Twitchell p84-87)
