Context.
The words you are referring to were spoken to the religious leaders of Israel in Jesus' day with reference only to the laws of Moses regarding divorce which they were questioning. Within their context, Jesus gave them all they needed to know.
This was never intended to be an exhaustive, one size fits all, direction regarding divorce or adultery for Christians, just for legalists. If it was, the Word would not teach other things elsewhere on the subject.

my contention is that no amount of abuse will destroy what God has formed
if you want to argue otherwise, that God's work is fragile and easily torn asunder, you're going to have to do a whole lot better than you've done so far

or did you mean "Why didn't you (doser) just acknowledge that the woman is always right and acquiesce?"
the answer to that one would be - that knowledge came with experience

It's obvious that I have given you a lot more to chew on than you can handle.
When you learn the law of love, let's have another conversation.

ok, but you have to promise to stop claiming that God's work is the work of an inept weakling

Pretty much. Where it comes to "for better or worse" in marriage then it's entirely obvious it didn't include the wilful abuse of a spouse. Financial strife, stress, hard times, even difficulties in the relationship etc but abuse?
No, not at all. The only people who are likely to stretch the phrase to that extent are the ones who are guilty of it.

Well, no, all you'll have done is robbed a child of its mother. All out of rock headed legalism.

Maybe the mother should have considered that before committing the crime...

Maybe you should consider just how much you resemble the pharisees and teachers of the law.

Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. - Romans 3:31 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans3:31&version=NKJV
But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, - 1 Timothy 1:8-10 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Timothy1:8-10&version=NKJV

What exactly do you think I'm crying about? There's no way your brand of legalism would ever come to fruition and you're just some guy who can't seem to think outside of Bob Enyart and biblegateway. You're a modern day scribe with nobody to stone.
