Do you know anyone who married the same person twice?

[C.Ann]

And if so, did it work out the second time around?

No - I'm NOT remarrying my first DH...

It's someone else I know..

 

[Ohiodislover]

I know of two couples that have done this.

One is my aunt, and it didn't work...Of course she has been married 7 times ( 6 different husbands), so not sure that she could make it work w/ anyone.

I have a friend of work who left her husband for another man, married the other man, divorced and re-married husband #1. They have been remarried for about a year now, and so far so good.

I know 2 in my extended family who have divorced then remarried their former spouse, with a marriage or 2 to others in between.

Both family members ended up divorcing their 2nd wed spouses. The marriages just didn't work out. No one had improved on whatever it was that brought on the divorces in the first place.

 

[ilovejack02]

Yes I do!

I have known two couples , one cpl divorced when I was about 5 and remarried when I was 12 ish. I am 36 now and they are still married, I remember their reception, it was such a happy time.

The 2nd couple divorced when I was say 20 ish after being married for at least 25 years . They remarried prob 3 or 4 years later and were married until the husband passed away last year.

My brother has been married 4 times - two women, two times.

He was married to his first wife for about 10 years; they divorced; remarried about a year later; second time around lasted about a year.

Was married to his second wife for about a year; divorced; remarried each other about a year later....25 years later they're still going strong.

Sort of. My dad was married four times. He divorced his fourth wife a few years ago. They've somewhat reconciled. They aren't married again, but they may as well be. They even travel together a lot. In fact, they are on vacation together right now! I find it a little strange, but my dad insists that they are closer now than when they were married. (FWIW, she's 22 years younger than he is...she is my age)

One of my cousins married his wife, they got divorced after about 15 years, got married again a few years later, and divorced a few years after that.

Neither one has remarried. Honestly, I think they love each other as much as two people can, but they just can't live with each other. I think that's why they haven't remarried other people, because they will always be in love with each other.

I know it may sound crazy, if you love someone that much you would want to be with them all the time. But it just didn't seem to work with these two.

 

[eowensby]

I know of 2 couples. Both are still married.

Couple #1-Divorced when they had young kids, but remarried pretty quickly. They are now in their late 60's.

Couple #2-Married very young(she was finishing her Senior year of high school and he was 19). They had a baby a few months after the wedding. They divorced after a couple of years of marriage. Then they started dating again and remarried. They have had 2 more kids. They are celebrating their 11th anniversary this weekend. They celebrate their first marriage anniversary.

 

[disneybound2010]

Hmmm. Well, they aren't married again,but this is my DDad's 3rd go round with his 1st wife.

hey were high school sweethearts,got married after he came back from Nam, lasted all of a month! They got divorced and a year later were back together,tho not married. That lasted a few months yet again. Dad met and married my Mom and they were together 32 years until Mom died 4 years ago. Now, all these years later, he is with his 1st wife again and has been for about 3 years...they just won't get married again!

 

[diznygirl]

Yes, and so far so good! I'm very happy for them - they really are meant for each other but communication problems caused the divorce. That's out of the way now so I think it's smooth sailing now.

 

[C.Ann]

Hmmm.. Odds don't sound all that good - and from what I can tell, there have been no major "improvements" in the area of issues that resulted in them divorcing the first time..

I hope I'm wrong.. They've been "engaged" since Christmas and will marry in May or June - so I guess there's still time for them to break up if they realize that it's a mistake..

Only time will tell if it's meant to be, I guess..

Thanks for the replies..

2 different couples.

One worked. One didn't.

 

[DebbieB]

When I first started working, there was a girl I worked with who married her first husband again. They had a child the first time, got divorced due to cheating (I think on both their parts), then remarried. The second time it only lasted about a year, they divorced again. She was a real "wild child" (this was the early 80's), she would tell stories of all the men she was sleeping with when her ex had her daughter on weekends. She married again when she was about 30 and believe it or not, they are still married as far as I know (she's in another dept now), she is probably in her early/mid 50's now. She had another daughter with the second husband.

 

[AustinTink]

My brother. Married a year, divorced. Remarried her when he found out she was preggers. Married for 12 years now.

 

[EMom]

My brother and SIL married twice. They even married on the same date (both weddings have the same anniversary) to make it easier to remember/celebrate their anniversaries. She aways celebrated the original anniversary and he jokingly pointed out that they had not been married that long. Did it work out? Well, they remained married, but I wouldn't call what they had a "happy marriage." And that goes for either time.

 

[BillSears]

Yes I do. They divorced twice too.

 

[Piglet4Ever]

My SIL's mom has been married multiple times at least 6 I think and twice to the same man, and it didn't work any better the second time around.

 

[GeorgeG]

I know at least two couples who had been married before and also married to others in between. As far as I know, everyone is happy being back where they started. Sometimes people get married for the wrong reason and/or divorced for the wrong reasons. I suppose it's how everything ends up after the dust settles that counts.

 

[TinkerbelleAbbysMom]

DH and I married when we were 20 and 23 the first time. I basically went form being dm and dd daughter to david's girlfriend/fiance/wife. We met one week into college. We dated/engaged x 3 yrs and married in 2000. We separated in 10/03. Mostly due to lack of communication. Some other personal things. The divorce was finalized in 3/04. We were back together in april. We dated and did counseling for a year. We remarried 4/2/05. Our daughter was born 10/06. We deffinitely got it right this time. We appreciate each other so much more! God is the foundation this time and it makes all the difference in the world. Wishing them good luck!

 

[m&m's mom]

My parents divorced when I was 3 and got remarried when I was 38. Yep 35 years in between.
For them it was a wonderful thing. The things that got in the way before (maturity, MiL etc) were gone and they were free just to enjoy each other.
My Dad was remarried the whole in between 35 years. His wife died and my Dad was on the phone w/ my Mom 3 days later. He said he had waited long enough to put his family back together. I thought that was very sweet.
