That's a very bad idea, and it's going to ruin the very children he's trying to protect.
1. The man should only remarry if the woman is MATURE ENOUGH, and WISE ENOUGH, to make a good mother.
(If she's not mature enough and wise enough to make a good mother, he should not be marrying her.)
2. If the woman is mature enough, and wise enough, to be a good mother, then she should take on the full role of being a mother... meaning she NEEDS to be an authority figure over the children.
3. If both parents are not authority figures over the children, the children will grow with only HALF of the authority over them which they need... and they're prone to end up either spoiled, or rebellious.
4. If the children actually have status ABOVE one of the parents, this will reverse the authority structure which God created, and the family is never going to be happy, or function properly.
This is a terrible terrible idea, and it's going to lead to all kinds of problems, and it's going to tear down the family.

I'm not sure his Christian response disagreed with the limits of the premise that was presented.
For example, if the divorced woman in your scenario has previously left her family prior to consideration to remarry, than the Response provided above describes a woman who is not a mature mother of her own children...

This sounds very much like Quiverfull, which is a cult. I believe the woman and man work together and support one another ... working together and the children learn from them what a loving marriage is. Re remarriage, unless the former spouse has passed away or commited adultery, as I understand it, remarriage is not allowed.

Remarriage is not the unforgivable sin. Christ divorced Isreal when she committed adultery giving her a letter of divorce.
It certainly can cause confusion. Blending of two families is a work that Christ must be involved in. Jacob was involved with three families the true blender. Not bragging but I am on my second . Three girls, now women from the first. My new wife bringing in two, a boy at five years now in his thirties and girl 1 year and together we have one. 5 girls one boy .
We need prayer. I lost much in the first marriage. My wife is very patient and graceful which what she call me a caveman.
