These days you haven’t lived unless you’ve been married four or five times. Up until a few decades ago, marriage was a very serious thing that lived up to the line “until death do you part” that is said in the ceremony.

But how does marriage change the second and third time around? How can you be sure you’ve found true love when you thought you had it before? Marni has a friend who is recently divorced and just started looking for that special someone...again. Listen to her talk with Devan about it.

Devan

Marni: So I have this friend who just recently got divorced, actually, and she is trying to date again and she’s feeling a little weird about it, so we were talking about if it’s possible to find love after marriage and do you view things differently…I don’t know…

Devan: I think it’s got to be possible. I don’t think either of my parents…I mean, neither of them found love after they got divorced, but it’s gotta be possible. People do fall in love again, right?

Marni: It’s just…yeah…I think once you get married it’s this big…obviously it should be embraced as this big deal and if it doesn’t work out, are you able to find love again?

Devan: Do you think that people are afraid to fall in love again?

Marni: Probably. I think there’s a…Yeah, maybe if you’ve gotten hurt. Depending on the situation…

Devan: Just afraid you’re going to get your heart broken?

Marni: Right! Right. I mean, who wants to go through that again? Getting your heart broken is terrible. But I don’t know, love after marriage…Once you get married you just hope that’s gonna be it, right?

Devan: Yeah, but it seems like divorce is as common as marriage nowadays.

Marni: It’s true. So really, it has to be right?

Discussion

Marni’s friend recently got divorced and is worried that it isn’t possible to find love after marriage.

Devan says that even though neither of her parents found love again after they got divorced, she thinks it has to be possible. But Marni points out that it can be difficult to let yourself fall in love for a second time, especially if you got hurt the first time.

Devan says that divorce is as common as marriage these days, which can’t be true because certainly some marriages work out. But her point is that even though the increasing number of divorces can seem like a sad thing, it also means that there’s hope to find love again because there are so many other people looking for it too.

How many times have you been married? How about your parents? Do you think it’s ever too late for someone to find love?

In China, decades ago,we thought divorce was very bad and made efforts to avoid it. However, people especil the youngsters often have an open view of it. And we often think if the couple don't think each other is the true love, divorce is often the best choice.

yeah,I agree with you very much,

If you will be married with the man,you must think a long time for yourself, the large decision will influence all your life.

i think it is possible to find love after marriage(s). What if the person you divorced is not your true love? Divorce means that you leave your misery behind and you are heading to bright future. In that case, finding love after divorce is quite a rational result.

I think that it's never too late to find true love. Our fate will never go past. And i think it's better to divorse than to live without love.

Once married, we should keep the promise what we said in the time of marriage.

What ever the problem comes, we try to compromise from both side. we never ever give up the promise. who ever it may be and what ever the kind of person, we must adjust the life. That will bring endless happy…..
