Full Summary

Korban Pesach (פסח) represents begginings of our marriage with Hashem (ה׳). Lamb represents that we have complete achdus with each other - and so we can have unique relationship with Hashem - as 1 nation rather than many individuals. Reading Shir HaShirim also reflects marriage relationship. Kabbalas HaTorah was marriage itself (not only contractual agreement that we'd do mitzvos). Luchos were symbol of this. Chait Ha'Eigel was form of committing adultery. Moshe broke Luchos to cancel marriage - though contractual chiyuv mitzvos still held. 2nd Luchos represented new, weaker marriage.
