<p>For those who have been married more than once, what makes it “different” or “better” this time? Is it age, knowing yourself, or what? Just curious…</p>
<p>Ooh I know this one! I hooked up with my ex way too young. We really grew apart as we matured I think. Plus my ex it turned out to have a problem with monogamy 
</p>
<p>So meeting my wonderful husband in my mid 30s made all the difference in the world. We already had experienced marriage, had experienced parenthood, and really appreciated the potential fragile nature of marriages (and how traumatic divorce can be).</p>
<p>We’ve been together now 10 years, and are still so much in love. I actually thought my first marriage was a good one, and now of course realize how much better it can be!!! I think my husband and I are just a much much better fit (we could choose better in our 30s than our 20s), we are much more mature than we were the first time around, and we really don’t take our marriage for granted like we did with our first ones.</p>
<p>DH says 2nd marriage is the best. He’s been married once. Me twice. One of the things I was looking for in a spouse was their sense of humor.</p>
