Please provide chapter and verse of where This is said in the bible.
I'd like to see some scripture that supports the idea that something must be found in scripture in order to be valid.Please provide scripture for your assertions.
So why are you attempting to teach?The Bible in first John states that the Holy Spirit the anointing that was given to you shall teach you all things, you do not need anyone to teach you
Rebounding is certainly a thing, and often not a wise thing.And I want to make sure that I am not a fan of divorce. I am not a fan of remarriage either.
These things are life altering decisions usually based on emotions instead of reasonable logical facts.
Here's one article that talks about remarriage.

People can have their beliefs about divorce and remarriage but at the end of the day, no one has any business sticking their nose into something that is so important and so very personal to another human being.And I want to make sure that it's clear that I am not a fan of divorce. I am not a fan of remarriage either.

I'm not saying that miracles don't happen. Or that people who remarried are living in sin.People can have their beliefs about divorce and remarriage but at the end of the day, no one has any business sticking their nose into something that is so important and so very personal to another human being.
If you don't like divorce or remarriage then don't do either and you will have nothing to worry about!
I'm... I'm so confused, and wonder what I'm reading here.
You say "I'm not condemning anyone", then proceed to call people liars and frauds. Sounds like condemnation to me.
And you don't condone separation if there's abuse occurring? "For those who see separating when things get tough, marriage should never be an option." So you would tell an abused spouse to remain in the home and remain in danger?
Stunning.
So why are you attempting to teach?
You also have the rules and regulations regarding marriage violations and divorce found in Deuteronomy 22. They are even more in keeping with the bible's misogynistic attitude towards women.
A man accuses his new bride of not being a virgin and if that is found to be the case she is to be stoned to death. If the accusation is false, the man shall pay her parents 100 shekels of silver and he shall remain married to the woman for life Bad deal both times for the woman. Nothing about the man being a virgin on his wedding night I see.
A man who rapes a woman who is already betrothed shall be put to death, but only if the woman cries out during the rape. If she does not cry out they are both put to death.
Another bad deal for the woman. A woman being so terribly violated may be in shock and unable to cry out, or she may fear her rapist might kill her if she resists. That law is as misogynistic as it gets.
Equally misogynistic is the law that states if a man rapes a virgin who is not betrothed he shall pay her father 50 shekels of silver and she then has to marry her rapist. I think that can be called another bad deal for the woman.
I don't see any of these rules as being the foundation for a happy marriage.
The bible is the last place to look for advice on marriage and divorce.
For serious study on this issue the Papers released by Bill Heth are an important reference...
Papers attached.
Paul in the matter of dietary and circumcision issues had to defer to Peter. At the end of the day all understanding about Jesus had to be aligned with peters understanding Who was a Illiterate. Also Paul’s scholarly ambitions is what got him in trouble in the first place it’s his Pharisee traditions that had him killing Christians and standing by holding the coats while Stephen was stoned to death, it’s not his scholarly acumen that made him the apostle he was but rather his repentance.
Do you think Jesus wants abuse victims to stay with their abusers? Does that really sound like the Jesus you read about in the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament?
The Bible isn't a prison cell.
