God in the beginning of time bonded Adam in Eve in body and soul through marriage. The First and being the first the most sacred of all sacraments. God then sent us his son Christ to save us, and when we become bonded with him through repentance and forgiveness, we achieve another most sacred sacrament. It is only fitting that the two most sacred sacraments, and the most similar be compared as one.
It is even more fitting that marriage is the first sacrament that God created, and our bond with Christ, the last he created. The divine trinity is the Alpha and the Omega, and the most Holy God, so the first and the last sacramets are the most holiest and should be given the same name.
And we all know that marriage can truly be bonded and kept holy if we bind it with our marriage with Christ.
