  14. Mark 10:1-12, Account of same occasion as Matt. 19:1-9, but he doesn’t deal with the exception. He does mention that it applies to both husband and wife. The Bible & Divorce

  15. 1 Cor. 7:10-16, “…A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife” The Bible & Divorce
