What does Matthew 19:8 mean?

He replied, 'Moses let you divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But that's not how it was meant to be from the start.' Matthew 19:8 - Modern Text Bible

(Jesus explains that divorce was allowed because of people's stubbornness, not because it was God's ideal.)
