Would you marry again?

I probably would not get married again. Why should I put myself through the crap another time. I would focus on raising raising my kids, having fun, and enjoying my freedom. Unless I planned on having more kids, I just wouldn't want to go through it again.

Yes, my first marriage didn't even last a year. We'd been a couple for about 4 years through college and became very close but unfortunately based it mostly on sex and not on basic beliefs about morals and life in general. That came back to bite us hard after the wedding and reality setting in. The split was hard on both of us. So much that we have no contact with each other (it's been 15 years now). I learned a hard lesson from it that you need similar basic beliefs first THEN start looking at the more glamorous similarities folks normally discuss. It helped me find my current wife. I won't say things are perfect but we have a good basis for a relationship which makes dealing with bad issues a lot more constructive and the outcomes are always better. Choosing your battles is a motto we've followed for a long time-no need to fight over little things that may work themself out on their own. If we were to ever break up I already know I wouldn't give up. I enjoy being part of a couple more than being single, enjoy the closeness and sharing of every day things. No marriage is easy but if you have two people sincerely working on things together, they can make it work.

I am amarried now and I know that if anything happens to my marriage i will never marry again because that just proves that a marriage can end. and It cost alot to marry and dicvore so why not save the money and the time and just live together. I beleive that a peice of paper changes everything. I look back on my marriage and I think that it would have been better to stay dating because we got long alot better. But then again it is a gereat feeling to share the same name as the man I love. It is a big step to take. So take it with great care!!

I am married and if i got divorced and fell in love with someone else, yes i would want to get married again.

I believe in what marriage represents.

It represents two people being in love and wanting to celebrate that love by making a serious and public commitment to each other.

Sure it might end in divorce, but if you start avoiding the good times in case they turn bad one day - it's not much of a life, is it?

Marriage does not cause divorce.

No, for a number of reasons

Once was enough

I believe the purpose of marriage is to provide a stable environment for children to grow up with their biological parents

At my age (now 43) the men who are still single are that way for a reason, the men who have been married, well, they failed same as I would have, what grounds would there be to think we could each get it right second time

I have no desire to raise another womans kids, if I did I would foster/adopt

Having being sexually abused as a child by a male relative, I would not have another man besides their father living under the same roof as my kids

I am married to a truly decent human being and our marriage has struggled, I very much doubt I would find a better man second time round

I am too selfish to adapt to another adult living at close quarters at this stage of my life

I like sex too but IMO, fwb's is the way to go.

i am going through a divorce right now, and as tough as it is to go through, i do hold out hope for the future that i will get married again some day and have the family that i always wanted =) BUT, if i did get married again, and it didn't work out for whatever reason, i don't think i would go for marriage #3...

No, I wouldn't get married again. I kinda think marriage is for raising kids - my kids are almost adults now and I won't be having any more so what would be the point of marrying someone. It'd just create complications and I don't want added complications. I would hate for anyone to come between me and my kids, for there to be tensions between us because of some man. Nah - once was enough. It's not for me.

Yes, if I found the right man! I think cultivating relationships based on love and trust keep some balance to all the evils of the world. Besides I wouldn't want to grow up to be an old; crotchety lady--I need some S_X. I am not the type of person that does that out of the confines of marriage.

Yes, I would love to marry again. I have a lot to give someone who would really love and respect me.

It's nice being single but it's better being double. Waiting for God's blessing.

I m divorced and married a divorcee. It is both our second marriage and we have been married for eight happy years now.
