How many marriages should one have? (girls, loving, young, kids)

[puffle]

My husband and I have been married three times, to each other. No other marriages, one child. Divorced from each other once for one year then remarried eight months after getting back together. Would have been fine with me to not remarry but was important to my husband and son, sooooo...five years later, we're still here! Third times the charm, especially with the same person!! Then again, I'm crazy enough to have four dogs.LOL

Lol Ive heard a comedian once say that
'marriage is a life sentence with no chance of parole...'

[sherrenee]

For me once is enough, I know I am young but I honestly feel that if anything ever happend to my husband I would never marry again.

if the first vow is to not marry you cannt lose, just cannt happen.

None. lol
I am against marriage, it's only a piece of paper that says nothing, really.

And yet it seems to change things a lot... There are couples who happily lived together for years and divorced soon after getting married. Apparently expectations of each other change.

I love my kids but told them from day one to wait until they're older to get married, go out, enjoy their life, before making a major life decision that has huge impact. Also I only knew the guy 2 weeks when we got engaged. Also not a good thing BIG TIME. To stay married on principle like my parents did was absolutely horrible, because the whole family suffered and was miserable. I swore I would never do that to my kids, so chose to divorce when they were young. I'd rather they have healthy trying to be happy parents in separate households, then miserable staying-together-on-principle bitter parents like I grew up with.

I got married at the age of 36 to a man aged 61 I had known since I was 19. Biggest mistake of my life.

There has to be more to the story.... I've know 20 year age differences that worked out well... but never 25.

I think that everyone's allowed one mistake, but I would not ever date a man who had been divorced more than once. To me, a serial marry-er (marrier?) is seriously defective, and a bad risk.
