Matthew 19:9

“And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery.”

No one has to tolerate adultery or lewd behavior from their spouse.

The only problem with this is Jesus did not say "lewd behavior" or something similar in that verse. He said UNCHASTITY ( e.g. ADULTERY ) and nothing else.

I've always wondered what married men or women who take scripture seriously should do if their spouse are habitually abusive.
