  • Yes, but I support living with each other for a couple of years first, even better.
  • Of course. In most cases, one cannot help it when a spouse dies. I'm sure they would want their surviving widow/er to find love again. If you're talking about divorce, I'm also OK with that. Sometimes people make bad and rash decisions. They shouldn't have to be miserable for their entire life. Having said that, I really believe in the value of marriage, civil unions, and other permanent-type relationships. But they aren't always 100% fool-proof. Good ?
  • yes, i do..many people have better luck with the second marriage. I would be an example of that. My first marriage happened when I was young, dumb and had no concept of the responsibilty I was taking on. My first marriage ended on good terms and we remained friendly until his death at the beggining of this year..I learned a lot from it..and I didn't remarry until over ten years later.
  • I don't support second marriages, just mostly condone them.
  • Sure I do... I wouldn't say 'support'. I just think the same of them as first marriages. It's a marriage. Yep.
  • Not sure what you are asking or what you mean by support. Do I think they are a good thing? Not necessarily. If the first one failed, you need to find out why and not repeat your mistakes, either personally or choose a mate better. If you lost your spouse through death or they left you alone, then I think if you find love again and are willing to open yourself up to someone again, great.
  • Very much so. As long as it's not a repeat of past situations or mistakes, there's nothing wrong with trying again. Admittedly, the prospect of marriage after a devastatingly failed union might be a scary idea, but I'm a firm believer in "getting back on the horse" rather than letting the possibility of failure dominate one's thoughts. :)
  • "Support" them? What are you asking? I am married to my second wife who is married to her second husband. We've been together about eight years and married for 3-1/2 at this point. I don't recall a single major argument with her. My ex-wife (who I DID have loud arguments with) married shortly after we did. I have a cousin who's married to HIS 2nd wife, and she's married to her 2nd husband. They each had 2 kids at home, and now have two of theirs. (His, mine and ours), and are doing WONDERFULLY. All kids seem well-adjusted and are handsome/pretty. My grandmother, whose husband had died a few years before, married a man whose wife had died a few years before. They did EVERYTHING together, and made each other happy. Yes... I believe in 2nd marriages. Support them? I guess I do. ;-)
  • I had better I am in one lol
  • To be completely honest, not really. If one of the spouses died, though, that's another story. I am a firm believer in "until death do us part". Then again, that's for me. The majority of people where I live seem to have a different take on this issue. It's not really my business what other people do, though. The law isn't telling me I have to get married twice, or even once, and that is what matters.
  • if someone doesn't learn from their mistakes, sure, let them have another shot at it ;-)
  • yes just because one marriage failed it doesnt mean the next will. people change and learn from past mistakes. my husband was abusive thats why it failed, it doesnt mean i wouldnt get married again just not to an abusive man.
  • Yes, and third and fourth and however many someone wants to have, its their life not mine.
  • I don't believe in a second marriage. Whatever it is we will work out the kinks.
