IIRC, Jesus prophesied to M Magdalene that she was with a man currently who was not her husband and that she had been with other men also in the biblical sense.

Exactly true…and she supposedly had several husbands. But we have to remember that divorce and remarriage was not considered “spiritually” incorrect by the Pharisees. It’s not clear what the view of Samaritans was on this issue at that time, though the Samaritans was an early offshoot of Judaism (following the Torah but not the subsequent Prophetic texts). Most of those in the “Judaeo” tradition considered them heretics as much as modern Christians consider Mormons “out there”.

Jesus seems to have taken a much more strict line on the issue of multiple marriages and remarriage. He didn’t appear to accept divorce and likely even thought that remarriage after death was not acceptable.

Just because you can not ahve perfection is no reason not to try to so what you can. There is no better protection against unwanted pregnacy than the involvement of the parents in a childs life. It matter not if the best still allows error.

If you had cancer and the doctor gave you several options none of which were garanteed to work, would you take no option just becasue the ones offered might not work. I think you take the best option.

If is our children’s lives we are dealing with, and our grandchildrens lives as well.
