The tree of life

"Then the Angel showed me the river of the life-giving water, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of its street.  On either side of the river grew the tree of life that produces fruit twelve times a year, once each month; the leaves of the tree serve as medicine for the nations.” –Revelations 22:1-2

So are man and wife: He, the life-giving river flowing from the altar of sacrifice, she the tree of life, each month fertile and bearing fruit.
