What should be the MOST SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE? The second marriage because the partners have experience. They really know what doesn't work.
Yet...
The following statistics were complied from the National Center for Health Statistics (2002):
Fifteen percent of second marriages ended after 3 years and almost a quarter after 5 years.
The divorce rate following re-marriage is higher than that for the first marriage.
Why? Why can't people learn from their mistakes? Of course each individual case is different but I think it's safe to suggest a rule. People, generally, don't change. They have their patterns, habits, attitudes and behaviors which even when proven ineffective and even harmful to themselves and others are consistently repeated.
Change is hard - but not impossible.
And THAT is what this blog is about:-).
