Question

How is your second marriage better than your first?

Answer 1

hopefully u will learn from the first failed one.

Answer 2

In my first marriage I had money, freedom and I could be myself.  I had a husband who absolutely adored me.  When he married me I weighed 125 lbs and in the course of our marriage (8yrs) I blossomed to over 200 lbs and he never said a word, but I didn't love him, I thought of him as a big brother more than a husband therefore rarely did we ever have s*x.  Somewhere in last year I lost 75 lbs and started cheating on him and we divorced (soley my choose)  Five yrs later I meet a man who I adore, completely love, married.  And it has been a struggle from the beginning.  We do not have money, freedom (I am a step-mom now) and I do not know who I am anymore.  I finally found the one element missing from my first marriage (love) but the other pieces  are missing.  The thought of being without the love I feel for my 2nd husband would be unbearable.  It is hard to weigh one marriage against another.  But I am happier now because I am in love.

Answer 3

I just divorced after 31 years, I can't say I'd never marry again, but for me it's way to soon I'd date yes, marry...??  

Answer 4

No, my second marriage was on the rebound with a immature, selfish, jerk.  Of course, at first he showed me all the attention and was the biggest charmer who turned out to be the biggest loser.  

Answer 5

Marriage #2 doesn't make a difference!  It could be the 10th marriage if you haven't learned from your mistakes!  Forget the word marriage and focus on your partner.

If you married each other with love, respect, trust, communication and always making each other happy, then that marriage will stay together till death do you part.

If you're married to some selfish loser, that doesn't show you love and respect and who is also having s*x with someone else, then you will get a second divorce!

Use a little common sense.

Answer 6

That's not always the case...but one would think someone who had been through marriage before had learned something about it, and so could take those lessons and experience forward and future marriage would be better from the standpoint of the person knowing what to look out for, things that cause dissension in a relationship, and things that make a relationship stronger.

Like with most things, experience does tend to help us be 'better' at something.

Answer 7

I am still on my first 16 wonderful years!!!!

Sure, we have had our problems, but we made it, and our problems and going through he** and back, only made our love and our life stronger!!!!!!

It is our love for eachother that kept us together!!!!!

Answer 8

I chose better the second time.  The first time I went on looks.  He was gorgeous but was a chauvinist.  The second time I chose on personality and we have been married for 14 years.
