3. Someone already achieved so much they find it difficult to create deep bonds with a new partner.
Although the “traditional” marriage and family path is far from the only choice in today’s world, it does create some very logical and powerful reasons to stay together. Marrying fairly young, finishing growing up together, having a few kids, buying a house, and reaching various milestones together creates a strong shared history that builds intimacy and strengthens the commitment.
Most people enter second and subsequent marriages later in life, after reaching many significant milestones alone or with a previous partner. You might already be set in your careers, have a few children, own your homes, and be well-set financially. You might already be wrapped up in family and social bonds, and not fully integrate into each other’s lives.
And while many families blend easily, others have a lot more trouble. When and how you introduce your next spouse to your children can play a role, but some step relationships just work out better than others.
Regardless, if either or both of you have kids, they can create a potential hurdle that must be carefully considered.
