Second Marriages- hard work, but worth the effort.

Having been one who contributed to the high percentages attributed to failed second marriages, I am awed by those who “make” it Now, the opinions on what determines “make” it would vary, but for my purposes it was seven years and counting. This number was chosen from the movie, Seven Year Itch. It seems that seventh year is the year, when people become dissatisfied, disenchanted, unhappy with their marital state- assessing the possibilities of a different relationship begins to rear its head. So, for my premise, if remarried couples had made it past this tenuous seventh year, there was a better chance for lasting success. No statistical logic, no higher mathematics, just this cliche. Of the nine couples that I interviewed for my book, Successful Second Marriages I found each couple varied in their ways of communication. All did agree on one subject, this time the marriage had to work. Divorce was too painful to go through again. I could second that! and I did. pbubash www.successfulsecondmarriages.com
