I'm on #2 now. I don't regret the first one at all. From all my relationships I learned more about myself and how to make a relationship work. Everything we experience in life helps us grow.

I've only been married once. Right now I'm in a relationship and we've been together for the last 3 years. I have made WAY BETTER choices this time around. I was only 22 when I got married and I'm sure to a degree that was a factor. I've also changed my way of thinking and I owe most of my new and better qualities to my failed marriage and some to just "growing up". I have learned a lot and I will try my hardest to NOT fall back into the same bs as my first marriage. So far so good. I'm EXTREMELY happy in my relationship and if all goes well we plan to marry too.

I have been married twice, once when I was 21 and then again at 42. I had many years in between when I saw I wasn't making good choices and went to counseling to understand why I wasn't making good choices. Found out a lot about myself and finally met the greatest man and life is great. Without the counseling and some of the life experiences, I probably wouldn't have noticed him. I'm blessed that I was finally able to. If you want a good relationship you just can't keep making the same mistakes and most of the time it means you have to look at yourself and find out why you are who you are and keep leaping instead of finding a way to make good choices. I'm glad I did.

I have never been married, I was with someone for 16 years though... but most definitely have made better choices from my experiences.....
Everything you go through is a Lesson Learned.. You learn from it and you take all the negativity and turn it all into positives for the present and the future... : )

Getting ready for my 2nd time, 24 years apart, first one lasted only 5 years. Yes I did make a better choice, I'm marrying someone that is my friend and my mate first, not ruled by passion.
We can learn from the past, if we are looking for the lesson in it.

I have been married twice. My first wife was killed by a drunk driver while we were still in grad school, just one year after we were married. But I learned so much with her and from her. I have been married to my second wife for 41 yrs. The 2 were very different in background and experiences, but very similar in personality and core values. Both were nurses. I was also older the second time and starting my career, instead of being in college. All this gave me a different outlook the second time around. I knew what I wanted and I found it.

I am on my 3rd. marriage but have good reasons for being married sooooo many times. the first time, I was young and dumb, I was 18 and married a man 25 years my senior, he was 43. We were married for 11 year's and the age difference did indeed "catch up" to us. We parted as best friends for the sake of our 3 son's. He was indeed a great husband and father. I remarried and had another son with my second hubby, he passed away going on 3 years ago. I am now married to my 3rd. and LAST hubby, we just celebrated our 1st. wedding anniversary earlier this month. This one is a keeper and I am older and much more experienced now.

Twice. The first time we were way too young, just out of high school. It only lasted 4 months. I learned that you can't always follow your heart. Sometimes you have to listen to your brain. The second time I was in my mid to late 20s, and it lasted 2 years. That time I learned that even though people can change habits, they can't change who they are inside no matter how hard they try.

Three times . The first time I was to young to know what I was getting into I was only sixteen. The second time was plain and simple stupidity and the third time for love and it is wonderful all three years of it and I believe there will be many more years with this man.
