Respect, positive communication, and having a good sense of humor go a long way in making your second marriage last a lifetime. The second marriages are more likely to fail than the first marriage. Some common reasons are family bonding, loyalty issues with stepchildren, and co-parent rivalries.
When people are remarried, unhealthy relationship patterns and trust issues from the first marriage can vandalize the new relationship. There could be problems due to the lack of confidence and being over-suspicious if your former partner betrayed you.
While there are even some tips that will lead to a successful second marriage:-
1. create a culture of appreciation, respect, and tolerance:- There should be mutual respect and understanding between both partners. Appreciating them is important in building a bond, even at small moments.
2. Practice being vulnerable in small steps- You should be confident enough to be more open with your partner. Discussing small issues like meals or schedules is a great place to start.
3. Set aside quality time and create a comfortable environment to connect with your partner:- When discussing important issues, create an atmosphere suitable for them. When asking for something you need, talk assertively, and be willing to see each other side of the story.
4. Discuss expectations to avoid misunderstandings- Taking a risk is just dealing with hurt feelings. Talk about your expectations from each other.
5. Practice forgiveness- Every one of us has flaws or shortcomings. Forgiveness is really important for a relationship to go on. Practicing forgiveness will help you move on.
