How can I avoid the same problems that plagued my first marriage? Sarah asked this question during a break at one of our marriage seminars. Tom and I are getting married in a few monthswere very much in lovebut we both know its not going to be a cakewalk.

Sarah went on to tell us that her first marriage ended after just three years when her husband walked out on her for reasons that are still a mystery. Maybe we were too young, I dont know, she confessed, but I do know that this time I have my eyes open and we want to do everything we can to ensure lifelong love together. She asked again, What do I need to know as a person whos getting married for the second time?

The seminar was about to begin so we had to postpone our answer for Sarah. We eventually spoke with her and Tom at length over the lunch break. We learned that Tom was coming from a nineyear marriage that ended when his wife died of cancer. We also learned that he was bringing two young children into his new marriage with Sarah. Do you have any tips for helping the kids make a smooth adjustment to all this? Tom asked us. And what should we do about his parents? Sarah chimed in. They think were rushing into this marriage.

Needless to say, we didnt have time to do justice to the many questions Sarah and Tom had about starting their second marriage. And truth be told, we didnt feel all that confident about what little advice we did have. We passed along a few bits of information and underscored the importance of healing the wounds from their previous marriages. But both Les and I felt bad that we could not do more to help Sarah and Tom get started on the right footfor the second time.

That was more than a half dozen years ago. Since that time, we have dedicated much of our professional lives to helping couples like Sarah and Tom build the best marriages possible. Up until that time we had worked with countless couples entering marriage for the first time, but it wasnt until we met Sarah and Tom that we began to realize that we were neglecting critically important concerns for nearly half of all couples marrying today. We realized that these couples, where one or both were marrying for a second time, faced a unique set of circumstances that desperately needed attention. These couples needed a special set of skills for saving their second marriage before and after it started.
