I agree that its about both man and women but points beyond to Christ and His bride (church)... other examples of this use of metaphor is Hosea taking a prostitute for a wife, the prodigal son parable, Noah's ark as a shadow of Christ and on and on... I would argue that to the Christian these things are visible, but to the non-believer they are hidden (Yes the Van Tillian in me). Even Jesus said he spoke in parables so that the truth might be hidden except to His children the truth be revealed.
