Like any analogy, it has weaknesses. But it does demonstrate an aspect of oneness that is attributed to God. Since we are directed (and prayed about) to be "one" as the Father and Son are one, then the manner in which any two or more humans can be one is related to (though not necessarily descriptive of all aspects of) the way God is one yet two/three.
