Mark 10
2 And the Pharisees came to HIM (to Jesus), and asked HIM, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting HIM.
3 And HE (Jesus) answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
(Jesus shows them their own sin against their wives. Moses wrote the bill of divorcement. They hardened their hearts against their wives, thus they sinned against their wives.)

Mark 10 (Jesus says)
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
(Only by death can you divide one flesh.)
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter.
11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

The apostle Paul shows us that at the time of sexual intercourse the two become one flesh.
I Corinthians 6
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Fornication is a sin that is different from all other sins.

Matthew 5:32 (Jesus says)
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
* The faithful wife, who has been divorced by her husband, will commit adultery if she remarries, but her husband who divorced the faithful wife will be the cause of her adultery.
* The man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

I Corinthians 7
10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
(This is the law of God for the New Testament church presented by the apostle Paul in the New Testament Bible.)

The following is the law of God for the New Testament church.
Romans 7:2-3 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

At the time of sexual intercourse, the two become one flesh.
Only by death can you separate one flesh.
This is the way God created them.
There is a serious unstated penalty to that person who would divorce his mate and to the woman also who would leave her husband and marry another man while her husband still lived.
