how long should a person wait to get married fter a divorce?

Answer 1

every situation is different. divorce is like a death. you must do all the grieving process, before you become a whole person. you may have already gone through the process, maybe not. only you know. just remember to find yourself first.
I was married the first time 16 years, wasn't in any hurry to get remarried, so I dated a confirmed bacholar, good friend for 2yrs one month. we have now been married for 10 years, and we couldn't be happier. learn from your first mistakes and don't repeat them.
good luck to you!!!!

Answer 2

If you've been married and divorced only once. You should wait AT LEAST a year if not two. You need to make sure your head is in the right place and not just all googly eyed in love. You are probably afraid to be on your own. Try it for awhile. It's great.
If you've been married and divorced twice already. You should NEVER EVER GET MARRIED AGAIN unless you have been with that person for a LONG time. IF you have been married and divorced three or more times, you should NEVER get married again

Answer 3

Why do you want to remarry?
If you are the leavor then your marriage is almost guaranteed to fail (about 68 percent if I remember correctly). If you are the left then you are on the rebound and it's a proven bad idea (same 68 percent).




Take time.
Whether you are the leavor or the left, the reality is that you have a broken relationship. If you have not addressed those issues with yourself, and comfortably communicated these to your partner, then you are almost guaranteeing failure.



Think of marriage like a business.

If someone came to you and said, "I need half of your life savings to start a bar. I actually am bankrupt, and failed my last business to the point that my business partner won't even talk to me. Can you give me the money?" you are going to laugh at them.
That's what you are doing if you remarry. Committing half of your personal wealth to a relationship that you haven't prepared yourself for. Is that what you really want?"


Find yourself first.

Good Luck.

Answer 4

well i dont think of divorce like death...although i'm quite sure some do...but as long as everything is final thru the courts , there should be no time limit as to how soon you should be happy again...you must consider the fact that jumping back into something as serious as marraiage so soon may have you making the same mistake if you dont really know the other person as well as you think you do...it's a personal preference, but a serious decision...only you really know when the time is right to take the "plunge" again...good luck

Answer 5

why do it again
did you not learn the first time

there is no real set time but think about it this way

you dont need the paper to tell someone you want to support them and love them forever

you dont need the paper to wear rings
or be on a joint account or be on ins

i have been happily unmarried for many many yrs after a very long marriage that ended

we had a bbq with Friends and family and said vows and gave each other rings

Answer 6

If you didn't get it right the first time, odds are you will make the same mistake again unless you allow yourself enough time to grow and learn. At least several years should pass, IMO.

Answer 7

yes its great to share this subject,well it is very
hard to tell the exactly how long one should wait,but it is very important to consider the cause of such a divorce.After having considered the cause,its better take enough time looking for someone who fits you for remarriage so that you don't repeat the same mistakes.
