What's the GOP Position on Outlawing Divorce?

I wonder if the GOP majorities in Congress will next take up legislation outlawing divorce (except in cases of adultery).  Jesus Christ's main (and arguably only) concern was divorce among heterosexuals.  Herewith one of several places where the New Testament gospel writers discuss Jesus' position:

Mark 10:2-12
"And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him...And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."

So, let's see, the institution of marriage has been threatened by President Reagan, Bob Dole, Sen. George Allen, Sen. Christopher Bond, Sen. Hutchison, Sen. McConnell, Newt Gingrich, etc. and etc.  What about legislation to prevent the likes of these GOP luminaries from harming the sacred institution?
