by Larry Bilotta
Do you REALLY know what you're in for when you enter a second marriage? Most people don't. Common sense might tell us that second marriages have a higher success rate because we've made our mistakes and moved on.but unfortunately, this is just not the case.
You're about to discover the top 5 reasons why second marriages fail. Take this opportunity to learn from others' mistakes to make certain your second marriage is the best one yet.
1. PART 1: Let the Tug of War Begin (Please substitute male/female where appropriate.)
The competition begins when a woman enters her second marriage, but her new husband is confused about his role in the marriage in relation to her children. He wants his new wife to make HIM the priority and the children want their mom to make THEM the priority.
This "tug of war" creates contempt and resentment leaving the woman in the middle feeling like she has to "choose a side". This is one of the biggest factors that puts strain on a second marriage. But the sad fact is; this is only HALF the battle in the "tug of war" that leads to a second divorce.
2. PART 2: War of the Wives
The next part of the "tug of war" is when one spouse tries to get more of her ex husband's money. Since she resents her ex, she feels she's entitled to his money because of "what he put her through".

At the other end of the 'rope' is this man's current wife. She doesn't feel the other woman deserves any of his money because he has a new life now.with a new wife. She feels that the court-ordered money is more than enough and the ex wife is now being greedy.
3. The Quest for Mr. / Mrs. Right
This is another big reason why second marriages fail. Going into a second marriage without realizing why the first one failed is like NASA building a new rocket before finding out why the last one exploded.
Instead of focusing on what REALLY went wrong in their last marriage, people often place blame solely on their ex husband or wife. They end up believing that the key to a happy marriage is simply finding the right partner.
If you've thought this way before, I've got news for you..there is no "right partner." There never will be. The "key" is finding someone who has values similar to yours. And you won't know this unless you DISCUSS them with your partner.
