A Cloud Kingdom Classic Riddle

From Lair of the Sphinx

Coming down some spiral stairs,

I come upon two mated pairs.

Clasping hands that bridge divides,

I see two grooms, I spy two brides.

Countless times I meet these four,

While circling down that spiral core.

Perfect bliss, without debate,

Each always faithful to its mate.

So what is this, this perfect stair?

A life long tale, without compare.

What is this, I ask of thee?

Name it now with letters three.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
