The figure of speech used in the statement is a pun, specifically a play on words using the term "chord", which is a musical term referring to a group of three or more notes played together, but is also being used here to mean harmony or unity within their marriage. The deeper meaning conveyed is that their relationship was always in sync and filled with mutual understanding.
