Divorce and Remarriage: Divorce is not the end of your chances for marital happiness.

Divorce can be painful, but it isn't the end.

Many couples and families are impacted by divorce today, and not everyone understands how or why it happens. Couples can slowly get too busy for each other and drift apart, or they may not resolve their conflicts and find it easier to separate. Some divorcees have had abusive or unfaithful partners. Whatever the reason for a divorce, it is always a painful loss.

After divorce, a person needs healing. They should seek counseling and try to restore their mental and physical health, especially if they want to pursue a romantic relationship again. To remarry, one must learn from the first relationship and avoid the same pitfalls. Children, money, and legal issues must all be considered when one is thinking about getting remarried.

Building a new family takes work, but a divorced person can learn to have a healthy new marriage if they take the time to learn, grow, and invest in the new relationship. Here, Geary Reid shares from experience and research he has acquired through years of counseling people through divorce and remarriage.
