First marriage ended up in divorce obviously as we were just to young.
So after the divorce we decided to get married again and it's ticketyboo

Re: Second Marriages do they work?
Well I certainly hope so as I'm marrying for the second time on FRIDAY!!
First marriage I was WAY, WAY too young and only stuck it out for the kiddos. This time, I followed my heart AND my head. 12 years older and wiser and loving every minute of it!
Mr. Siren had never been married before but close enough... 2 kids later the whole thing failed. Also a "too young to know better" situation.
If only 18 yr old kids could know what they would think when they were 30 there might be a lot less second marriages.

Good luck getting married on Friday , you will have to keep us posted 
.I tend to agree that people marry to young and don't really know who they are. We all change and grow , some together and some apart

Re: Second Marriages do they work?
I dont know about second marriages, I am still in my first.
My wife and I have been married 11 years this year, we were togeteher for ten years before that. I am now 40 she is 36. We have three lovely children, aged 7,4 & 3. I sincerely hope we are together forever, so does she. Strangely enough though, both our parents are in 2nd marriages.
If anything is going to cause a divorce, it'll be the house sale (or lack of it), tension or what!

i would love to take the credit for the pic June, but sadly its not my talents that created it...another member of the forum did it for me a long while ago.
As for the second marriages bit...i think that in our youth we tend to place far too much importance on the trivial things when looking for a partner....looks and physical attraction far outweigh the underlying basics needed for a successful relationship. We also have no real concept of what living inside a close structured relationship is either and all too often the reality is one hell of a shock, but how do you know until you've done it? Thats why the sensible among us look on a second chance at love in a whole new way...i know i did. Fancying someone is just not good enough anymore. Similar morals, likes, dislikes and attitudes to life are far more important.
