writes: This question is for all the women out there who filed for divorce from their first husband (for various reasons) and went on to re-marry again later in their lives....Did you find happiness the second time around? I have heard that most second marriages end even sooner than the first one did so I am concerned and wonder if it's true. Do we sometimes get it right the second time around, or are those statistics correct? I would really love to know.

In life we all deserve love so we should try to find it. Yes it is hard but it's like a diet, we fail so many times, then find the "right" one which we stick to. So, please go find that love and happiness. And even it doesn't work out, then please try again. Love is such a blessing. We all should strive to find and and if we decide to get married, don't look at the stats, rather just look at you and him. And work on it like everything else. Good luck

Well, I haven't remarried, but honestly I feel like I have no interest in the institution of it anymore. I feel so happy and free to be divorced, and I love my current BF, and if we broke up tomorrow I have learned that I will find happiness again. And if he proposed tomorrow I'd tell him I'd rather have a commitment ceremony and not let some piece of paper define us.
Que Serra Serra, right? Don't look to a marriage to make you happy. If you aren't happy before being married, first, second, or third time around, then you won't be happy in the marriage.

Happiness is fleeting...here today, gone tomorrow! Sad but true! I'm not saying there is no "Happily Ever After," but it doesn't just happen...it takes hard work and committment! If I go by my history each time I married, the marriages lasted longer, so they may not have considered me in thier study...but I don't think you can base a marriage on statistics!
Follow your heart...work at the relationship...and just be the best partner you can be!
Good Luck!
