Second marriages are quite a bit different than first marriages. Most people don't recognize these differences BEFORE they get remarried and don't see the need for remarriage preparation. But you're different! You're here!

Out of all the information I share here at Remarriage Success, preparation is probably the one I'm the most passionate about. It has the greatest impact on your success.

So, why is preparation such a big deal?

It's one of the most important protective factors when it comes to re- divorce. Here are 3 articles to help show why preparing for a remarriage with children is so essential to your success:

Years of statistics clearly show characteristics that make second marriages most likely to succeed. These stats aren't very popular though and are often ignored. I want to show you four of the most common reasons for ignoring these statistics. Learn how dangerous this can be and what your alternatives are. in love

Right now, you may be thinking, "What about love?" Yes, love is important. I'm not ignoring that. But it can be very dangerous to base a lifetime commitment on an emotion. Remarriage with children is hard work. The re- divorce rate is at least 60%. Emotion alone is not going to help you weather the storms of step family life.

Speaking of step family life, what about the kids? This is one of the most significant differences between first and second marriages. Your kids will have strong feelings about you deciding to remarry.

Unlike a first marriage, your children will have a huge impact on on the success of your remarriage. So what part do the kids play when preparing for second marriages?

While preparation may not seem like a necessary step initially, I hope you recognize now, just how essential it is not only for you and your partner, but for your entire family. Is it the easy road? No! It takes time, effort, maturity and discipline. The potential rewards are huge though. remarriage with children audio
