Yes, thx.
There is no passage in the Bible that says: "Don't divorce or you're a bad person and we hate you"—which is how Mt. 5:31-32 is read in Christian churches.
The actual language of the passage is quite a challenge. Here's just a few problems:
1) To read this passage as a regulation on Christian people would place them, apparently, under the "Jesus revision" of Old Testament law. But the New Testament can indicate Old Testament law is to be regarded as "obsolete" (Hebrews 8:13, etc.).
2) As Christians like to ignore, "adultery" is a capital crime in OT law (cf. Lev 20:10; Deut 22:22). If Jesus is saying that women who get divorced and the men who marry divorced women—as was legal in the OT!—are now to be executed, this seems a drastic and shocking thing for Jesus to say. He never moves to execute anyone or call for executions.
3) It actually isn't clear what "adultery" means. The term is often used by OT prophets as a religious crime of worshipping another deity (seen as a husband). The subject of "adultery" seems to be what scholars call "covenant monotheism," not sexual monogamy.

4) Manuscript problems.
Typically for Jesus' divorce sayings, Mt. 5:31-32 exists in a broad range of manuscript versions as drastically change who is being put up for execution. It suggests free re-writing of the passage in early Christianity.
5) There's the problem of what the word translated "sexual immorality" actually means. Christians pretend that "porneia" is a simple matter of regulations around monogamous marriage but that is not at all the biblical record. I explore that here:

I myself read Jesus' talk of "marriage" and "divorce" quite differently. I see the "adultery" in question" to refer to the marriage of gods with human communities, a regular OT subject. I see Jesus speaking to the local gods, not their human subjects. (The Jewish leaders obviously had no idea what Jesus was saying.)
But that's a complex matter woven deeply in biblical references.
