Actually, I do think it is one of the associations in the Creed. JPII in the theology of the body states:
The analogy of the love of spouses seems to emphasize above all the aspect of God's gift of himself to man who is chosen from ages in Christ (literally, his gift of self to Israel, to the Church); a gift that is in its essential character, or as a gift, total (or rather 'radical") and irrevocable...God's gift of himself to man, which is what the analogy of spousal love speaks about, can only have the form of a participation in the divine nature...In this way the analogy of spousal love indicates the radical character of grace: of the whole order of created grace.
When for men, God becomes man...he takes on human nature, a nature which is shared by male and female alike. Nonetheless, he became a man who shows his great love for his spouse, the Church, even by shedding his blood for her.
For this reason, I believe it would be incorrect to translate the Creed, "for us human beings...he became a human being." This translation is proposed by some feminists who reject an all-male priesthood and hence, they ultimately reject sacramental marriage as a sign of Christ's love for his Church.
It is the multiple meanings of anthropos that allow this meaning of the text to come through. It is anthropos, not aner, that is used in Ephesians.
Rejection of marriage, and its consequent life-giving unity, is the "heresy" of our day. In the secular order, this is seen through the acceptance of same sex marriage, abortion and contraception. As believers, we have a truly radical difference with the world on this point.
