In Jesus time there were two schools of thought on a law that Moses gave back in Deuteronomy 24. One school of thought was the Shammai took the "some indecency" as a reference to a sexual misconduct with witnesses. The other was the Hillel took "some indecency" as any offense such as burnt toast. Well Jesus comes in takes it and says it means sexual immorality.
God has a different standard because He weighs a covenant differently than we do. He values it! So when we consider the covenant He made with the blood of His Son so that we could be His bride we need to grateful that His value system is different. We need to understand that the covenant of marriage is not just a covenant between the two getting married but also between them and God. So may we value the covenant that we have made with spouses. However, if we haven't then we should cling to covenant that was through the blood of Christ as we always should. Though we should never abuse that covenant.
Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
