Have you, or do you know a couple, that has divorced only to remarry each other some years later? Share some of the story.

I do know a couple. I don't know the specifics. It seems strange, but not any stranger than some of the other stuff I hear/read about. I guess it would be understandable if they split on good terms, never found another suitable mate, and got back together due to the fact that they know how the other person lives and what the other person believes in.

I have known a couple of cases. It is more the exception then the rule, for damn good reason.

I have heard of this, two couple re marrying after 25 years. Other people I know personally, in both cases after divorce, after a few years they became couples again but did not remarry. However, I lost touch with one couple and they may have re married, they had a child and were planning it. So yes, people re marry or at least get back together all the time. Kids usually figure in. So that's four couples- that's a lot.

young couples divorce for wrong reasons.....sometimes, the spouse has been the only person theyve been with,,,they fight, get divorced, thinking,,,i'm missing out on life,,,,,once "single and free" some can never find what they had with their ex spouse.... so they get to thinking they made a mistake... the wild card in this,,is we are very very impressionable when young, and often overlook red flags ,,because things are new and exciting,
and you always hold something a little extra when things were so exciting.- when you havent been beat down by life..

My husband's parents married, divorced, then remarried, then divorced again and then each married other people. I honestly don't know why they did it other than a misguided attempt to "make it work" for their child.

The notion of making it work for a child is silly, IMO. If children are involved, show civility and don't put the kids in the middle of a whizzing match.

People do not inherently change. The basic core of their personality is static. It most cases what didn't work before will be the same reason it won't work again.
