Week 14!!!!

How do second marriages compare to first marriages?? Discuss courtship patterns, gender differences, preparation, motivation, and stability in re-marriage.
There really is no difference of a first marriage and a second marriage. The things that might effect a second marriage are; prior children; so then you have pay child support; prior spouses; alimony to the prior spouse if they did not have children; and step children rivalry. There are so many more effects to the second marriage by the first marriage.
Courtship patterns may be harder the second time around because you are out of practice and you may have children and they could effect how you choose who you are courting. Gender makes a difference when it comes to how soon they start dating and how many persons they are courting. Usually men court more women then when a woman is courting she only commits to one man. Also gender makes a difference when it comes to having relations. There may be questions if a second marriage will be stable for the rest of their life or it will fail like the first one did.
Motivation to find someone new after getting divorced would be so they would not feel so lonely and would find someone to be sexual with again. Preparation would be to warn your children of what is going on and also to make sure you have all the essentials for your dates to come. A divorce is hard and finding a new someone is even harder because you do not want to fail again.
