Are you interested in knowing the secret to having a successful remarriage? Do you want to know how to let go of the past so you can focus on your new marriage? Are you having problems coping with your ex-spouse? Are you wondering what to look for in a new mate?

If you answered, yes, then this book is one you should read. The authors answer those questions and more:

If the issues from a previous marriage are not completely resolved, it will be difficult to solve current conflicts. Practical everyday issues are addressed. Where will you live? What will the kids call you? What if there are adult children? How will you handle money? What about a prenuptial agreement? What are your expectations and your fears about marrying again?

The authors wondered why some remarriages work and others don't. They surveyed hundreds of currently remarried men and women that they chose at random from all over the United States. Ages ranged from 24 to nearly 80.

They discovered that it is critical to put closure on a first marriage, to rebuild self-esteem, and to learn from the past so that the same mistakes aren't made again in selecting a new mate. The the three biggest issues for couples in second marriages appear to be former spouses, children and money.

Utilizing statements and real-life stories from the folks they interviewed, Susan Kelley and Dave Burg provide both insight and solutions through examples and factual information. The Epilogue lists qualities that people find to be important in a marriage. Don't skip that section! There is also a very useful index.

Although second marriages, like first marriages, have a high divorce rate, they can and do succeed. This book is for those looking for a road map for happiness in their marriage.
