noun
god of matchmaking; Cupid
Refers to a deity or divine force that brings couples together. Often used metaphorically for a matchmaker or the idea of destined love. The English gloss 'Cupid' is a cultural equivalent, not a literal translation.
彼女は結びの神に祈って、良い出会いを願った。
She prayed to the god of matchmaking, hoping for a good encounter.
あの二人を引き合わせたのは、まさに結びの神のいたずらだ。
It was truly a prank of the matchmaking god that brought those two together.
