I read the sermon cited. The bottom line, interpreting Matt. 19:9, was, "Couples can live separately--although they should not, except in the case of fornication." That is, he construes the "porneia" exception allowing separation but not divorce or remarriage.

I think the Christianity Today article I cited above is a better example of the grammatical-historical method of hermeneutics.
