Not too sure about the backwards vulgarity in the place of a supposed German proverb. Is the whole proverb sentance fake, or was just the proverb itself changed ?
Well, I will vote for deletion, as there is no citation.
here is a reference from googling this phrase: Spiritual Marriage: Sexual Abstinence in Medieval Wedlock by Elliot, D., published by Princeton University Press -- Unfocused 21:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
There still needs to be much more citation. Please refer to Wikipedia's guidelines on citation as well as neutral point of view. Explain who holds a certain opinion, and why, along with a citation. It is not enough to claim that a view is held, it must be more fully explained. EvilPhoenix
Although the name may come from Joseph and Mary, most protestants would regard that as a misnomer. (see the biblical references to Jesus's brothers and sisters - some take this literally, others want to believe that Mary remained a Virgin and so reinterpret these references).

Should be more info about the history of early Christianity, when the Gnostics were even more ascetic than the orthodox Christians. AnonMoos 17:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Does the FLDS section belong here? They used the term "spiritual marriage" to mean polygamy (with sex). That's very different than the commonly accepted definition of the term, which refers to chaste marriages (without sexual activity), and which is what the main article seems to be about. The two concepts don't really have any relation to each other apart from name. FiredanceThroughTheNight ( talk) 07:59, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
"comes from the original divine law that marriage should be the union between soulmates who are attracted to each other by divine magnetism and not by the animal magnetism of sexual activity. " Could anyone back up this statement? From what I remember from Bible study, Adam and Eve (the first married couple, defined as "one-flesh") were explicitly commanded to fill the earth, and if that was done asexually it would be nice to have a cited reference how it was done.

The result of the move request was: moved as requested with the disambiguation page placed at the base title, per the unopposed proposal below. Dekimasu よ! 06:06, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Josephite marriage – Hi, this is my first requested move and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, sorry.
The term 'spiritual marriage' is used by different authors to refer to different things: to
mystical marriage
[1]
[2], to
spiritual wifery
[3] and
celestial marriage,
[4] to a marriage between
soulmates or people otherwise spiritually aligned,
[5], or to a marriage generally based on religious principles,
[6] (in particular,
Bahá'í marriage
[7]) as well as to a marriage in which the spouses
do not engage in sexual activity for religious reasons.
[8]
[2]
[9]
[10] The wikipedia article on spiritual marriage has at various times reflected several of the possible definitions of the term, in a muddled and conflicting way; I have removed unsourced and unencyclopedic soulmate material and improperly sourced spiritual wifery material, leaving only the celibate marriage material. I propose that this be moved to
Josephite marriage, a more specific term for Christian celibate marriages,
[11]
[12]
[13]
[14] and that
Spiritual marriage become a disambiguation page.
