How can i tie in the theme of marriage and The Manna in the Wilderness?

I have to do a English oral which uses the themes in the Manna in the Wilderness into the context of marriage....any suggestions would be great!How can i tie in the theme of marriage and The Manna in the Wilderness?
The one thing that comes to my mind is how both are expressions of and elements of covenant relationships. Too lengthy to go into here, but a marriage is a covenant relationship.



God providing manna in the wilderness is the outworking of God's covenant relationship with Israel. When God entered into covenant with Israel, starting with Abraham, he committed to caring for and protecting his people. The provision of manna is a fulfillment of His covenant role with His people.



Maybe you can loosely tie in how in covenant relationships, each covenant party is obligated to support and care for the other.



This all might take some significant work and study on Biblical covenants, but I know it would be tremendously rewarding if you put the effort into it.
