Time To Remarry After Divorce?

Here are some thoughts to keep in mind when you fall in love after divorce and decide to remarry. Remarriage after divorce can be a wonderful healing. It can also prolong or repeat all the pain of your divorce.

The odds are you'll remarry. Don't think so? Maybe you're right. Maybe you'll be in the roughly 25% of divorced people who never remarry. Smart money says you won't, though.

And isn't it interesting that we say "smart money"? Because making a second marriage work is an awful lot about dealing with the money issues. It's also about kids.

Statistically, your subsequent marriage after divorce is more likely to fail than your first marriage. And if the remarriage occurs within two years after either partner's divorce, the odds of failure are higher still - on the order of 85% failure rate.

Would you do me a favor? Before you decide to remarry, take the time to go through some extended and intensive counseling with your fiancée. If this new marriage is meant to be, good counseling won't convince you otherwise. If you decide in counseling that maybe the two of you aren't meant for each other after all, good.

There's a separate page here about remarrying each other.
