You come up with intimate union and relationship, but look at the choice of words and the context, it just doesn't work for me.

I think two people becoming one is a marvelous experience that many people never experience.
So marriage, also known as husband and wife becoming one flesh, has nothing to do with intimacy and relationship?

Beam me up, Mr. Moderator.
