HE NEVER GAVE APPROVAL, PERMISSION OR BLESSING.

No, you miss the point. Jesus is not discussing this with people for whom this idea is a blank slate. Jewish practice at the time allowed for remarriage after divorce. Now Jesus is saying that divorce is only acceptable for a very narrow set of circumstances and he does not even mention remarriage. That suggests that he is not modifying the practice concerning remarriage after divorce, only that he is restricting divorce.

Let me guess. Are you divorced and remarried or married to a divorced person?
