Then some Pharisees came to him in order to test him. They asked,“ Is it lawful to divorce a wife for any cause?”He answered,“ Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,and said,‘ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”They said to him,“ Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?”Jesus said to them,“ Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way.Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.”

Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for herto sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word,so that he may present the church to himself as glorious– not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Malachi 2:14-16
Yet you ask,“ Why?” The LORD is testifying against you on behalf of the wife you married when you were young, to whom you have become unfaithful even though she is your companion and wife by law.No one who has even a small portion of the Spirit in him does this. What did our ancestor do when seeking a child from God? Be attentive, then, to your own spirit, for one should not be disloyal to the wife he took in his youth.“ I hate divorce,” says the LORD God of Israel,“ and the one who is guilty of violence,” says the LORD who rules over all.“ Pay attention to your conscience, and do not be unfaithful.”
