The physical body can be seen as a temple for the incarnated soul therein.
However, we are not meant to worship the shrine but the life-spark inhabiting it. Because life is not about the shells of matter, it is about the essence of life which is ensouling these forms.
It is just like with the ancient worship of the pantheon of Gods and Godesses. Of course, the temple edifices of the god and godesses have to be cared for but they should not be mistaken for the Gods and Godesses to whom they are dedicated and whose power is dwelling within them.
However, looking at society at large and also at the way many lovers are obsessed with their own physical appearence and the physical manifestations of their beloved ones, it is quite obvious, that they have blindly mistaken the means for the end. Your body and the one of your beloved one should be treated with love and respect but your worship and reverence ought to be directed at the Divine spark of life ensouling the temples of flesh and blood.
