Most people are much happier in their second marriages because they've learned from their mistakes."
How many people do you know that believe this to be true? (Not counting anybody in the entertainment industry?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> )
How many of you know people that are in your second, third, or even fourth marriage, who keep making the same "mistakes"? That maybe all they have learned is to get a better pre-nuptual agreement up front?!
I know of A LOT of people that have remarried and are not happy infact not only do they make the same mistakes, they are adding more. Why? because they bring more baggage and lay it on their new H's. Added family members seem to bring more fights!
Quote: What are your thoughts about when Michele says "Unless you understand that "marriage" doesn't make people happy, you will spend the rest of your life trading in marital partners for new ones."?
I was happy with my M but I new it can't be perfect. A satisfying M can make you content and happy. But I don't think we should rely on M being our universe. That's what I did; my life was my M, and look what happened, I totally feel about when my H had an A. M is alot of work you can get much fulfilment from a M, but it should be your everything! I think you need to be satisfied with who you are before you can have a satisfying R with your S. But, this isn't easy as I was brought up that your H and family come first, so my life was built around M and family.
