Some Pharisees approached him to test him. They asked,“ Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds?”“ Haven’t you read,” he replied,“ that he who created them in the beginning made them male and female,and he also said,‘ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to 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.”“ Why then,” they asked him,“ did Moses command us to give divorce papers and to send her away?”He told them,“ Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not like that from the beginning.I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery.”

He who loves his wife loves himself.

Malachi 2:14-16
And you ask,“ Why?” Because even though the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, you have acted treacherously against her. She was your marriage partner and your wife by covenant.Didn’t God make them one and give them a portion of spirit? What is the one seeking? Godly offspring. So watch yourselves carefully, so that no one acts treacherously against the wife of his youth.“ If he hates and divorces his wife,” says the LORD God of Israel,“ he covers his garment with injustice,” says the LORD of Armies. Therefore, watch yourselves carefully, and do not act treacherously.
