To summarize to this point: if you are willing to pay the price, you can modify a contract. If you determine to do so, you can dissolve a marriage covenant; but the suffering of doing so is immeasurable. You can alter both a contract and a marriage covenant, but such is not the case with God's covenant.
While God uses marriage as a symbol of His relationship with us, the parallel goes only so far before we must springboard into a deeper understanding of how God views our relationship. As people who are included in the life of Christ via salvation, we are in actuality participants in a blood covenant between God and Jesus.
There are two aspects of this covenant that are significant for my purposes in this note to you: First, this covenant is between God and Jesus, not God and us.
