And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.” And Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Mark 10)
God recognized that we would break his rules and so he decided to (sometimes) only regulate that and not just say, 'Don't you dare do that!' Isn't that what's going on in the situation in the text above? Isn't the certificate of divorce a matter of regulating the sin of separating what God has joined together? What does this say about how God deals with us, his very weak saints? What does this say about how leadership in the Church is to deal with its very weak saints?
