At one moment in time

Hi,
What does 'swoop in' and 'at one moment in time' mean in the context? Is 'at one moment in time' a fixed phrase?

He swooped in and stole her from her husband and destroyed their family. She said the marriage she had to her husband had not been a great romance; it was just two people who needed one another at one moment in time.

Thanks.

Hi,

Think of time as a river. One moment in time is like one specific point in that river.
