This seems to indicate that marrying multiple times is fruitless, silly, and even a waste of time. Yet we all know plenty of people who found a lifetime partner on the second, third, or even fourth try, and went on to true wedded bliss.
So anecdotal evidence for successful later marriages is strong, even though statistical support is weak.
To figure out what is going on, we need to seek out the story beyond the headlines. As it turns out, certain elements can make subsequent marriages more likely to fail, but acknowledging and addressing those potential hurdles up front can minimize the risks and give the marriage the best possible chance for success.
The 3 Most Common Reasons Second Marriages Fail
The reasons for any marriage to fail are as varied as the people in the marriage, yet many of the reasons for second and subsequent marriages to fail tend to fall into one of these 3 specific categories.
1. Someone is on the rebound.
Many people are afraid to be alone, or feel that they cannot live a happy and fulfilled life on their own. If your first marriage ended suddenly or tragically, you might feel a particularly strong compulsion to replace it an effort to feel normal again.
This puts you at strong risk for rebounding, or marrying again for reasons other than a true, mature, developed love relationship with a new partner. Rebound relationships don’t always fail, but they have strong red flags from the outset.
