Answer 1

Many thanks for all the above.

I was eventually able to contact the priest who preached the homily and he explained that the sense of the phrase was "ayudarse mutuamente" although he did suggest that it was a little redundant in the text in view of the earlier similar sentiments he had expressed.

Muchas gracias a todos.

Answer 2

Se refiere a condición de ser otro. Significa que en el matrimonio cristiano la relación se hace tan profunda espiritualmente que la pareja se convierte en otro tú, tu alter ego, tu otro yo.

Answer 3

Interesting observation/ suggestion which I do appreciate.
