Me:
One last shot and then let's move on as Bro. Glen suggest
(my VOTE Bro. James, not striving for the mastery :-)). 
This is why Jesus said for the cause of fornication. 
Fornication is the "ACT" and therefore the reason for
divorce.  This further distiguishes the "legal" cause for a
"proper" divorce to the commision of the deed and not for
the adultery of the HEART which is sin but not JUST cause
for divorce in God's eyes.  

I would like to take this opportunity to state again that
unless you are "fully persuaded" that it is OK by the Word
for you to remarry then to YOU, even if you are under these
two exclusions, to think a thing is wrong, whether it
actually is or not, and do it anyway is sin.

I would also like to ask a word of prayer for those to whom
this means that they must depart from their present
"partner" and the lives that will be affected by these
separations.  God will see them through, this I KNOW, but
they have a hard road and especially those with children
will need all the strength they can garner from the Spirit.
