"First comes love, then comes marriage then comes...."
The singularity of bikurim, the first fig was compared to the singularity of the person before marriage.

The "harkava schinsyis", the admixture of two items, still distinct and retractable, like the bundles of wheat or the salad, was compared to the new couple upon marriage.

The "harkava misgis", the new creation, the chemical compound created from two items, where those items are no longer distinct, but have formed an irrectactible new third item, the dough, was compared to the ultimate marriage where the two have become one

I would add that that the third level, the harkava misgis the irretractable new creation, where each has contributed but the new creation conceals and compounds the individual contributions, not mentioned in the shiur, is the child.

And then that child grows up to be a new singularity, etc etc

Even though a woman was also made in the likeness and image of The Holy One, bless His Holy Name, and with His Holy Spirit, why can the woman not lead and certain services, dutie, and mitzvos.

the Oneness of challah much easier to achieve than oneness of two people

  Both individuals need to want it more than anything, and that is when it works...1 plus 1 becomes 1. With flour and water there is no resistance to the combination.
