On may 18 I'm getting married again , this will be number two . The differences between this one and the first are huge . I never though I would marry again but I love her and she loves me and the biggest and best thing is we enjoy being with each other . I'm fifty years old so this time around I come in with a bit more life experience than the first go round . As the day gets closer I thought I would be feeling nervous but actually I'm looking forward to it . It makes a big difference when a woman supports you and gives you the time and space you need when you need it it . So for good or bad here we go for round two ! Any words of wisdom from some of you all that have been in my shoes ?

Reminds me of my getting married the 2nd time in 2002.

Everything was cool until the new wife asked about a box that hadn't bothered her before.
"What's in that box"?
"50 pounds of high explosives".
"Do we have to store it in the kitchen"?

That was a little disruptive of my previous lifestyle.....
But any misgivings went away when she told me, "I want my own guns".

32 years on number two. I am not losing this one she buys me guns and other cool stuff that I'm too cheap to buy. Congratulations to you and your new bride.

I'm 66 and Lori is my third wife. First one divorced me about thirty years ago, my second wife passed away, and Lori and I have been married for six years now.


Learn how to say " yes dear." The vocal inflection will illustrate your mood without getting into an altercation.

I married my first wife 65 years ago June 4th 2019. As we are going to bed, she usually mention how Blessed we are to have each other still. We believe it takes giving 60 percentile from both parties and trusting God as the third party. Yes and a few times the sweet married bliss had some dill pickles around. God's Blessings for you both, Tim, and many happy years for you.

I wish nothing but good for you and her. My youngest daughter and her boyfriend are trying the knot on the same day! Cheers!

My only advise is this... as we get older, sometimes we tend to entrench ourselves in our ways so remember to be flexible.. and of course there is this word of wisdom from the word.
1 Peter 3:7 NKJV
[7] Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

Stronger does not mean better.

Congrats! Still waiting on divorce to be finalized later this year after over four years of seperation. I did meet a great woman with a dog (one of my requirements). We speak every night for at least an hour and have done so every night for over three months now. Hopefully we learn from the first marriage. She understands my "hobby" and is more concerned with my well being. Early on she made the comment that it takes 100% from each party, not 50%. Knew I found a good one right then. Good luck!

It'll be 31 years in about a month with #1. If, God forbid, I ever ended up single, I'm pretty sure I'd stay that way, can't imagine having to adapt to someone else's quirks at the point in my life. Fortunately, that possibility is very unlikely for me. Good luck to you, it's good to have somebody.

Got married at 54. Only regret was I didn't marry her 25 years earlier. Good luck, and remember. ....men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Your brains do not work the same way. Just be sure your brain is in gear before you get you mouth in motion. Best of the best to you both.

Best wishes to you and your intended. I married #2 at 50. She had her own guns and fishing tackle. That was 28 years ago come June 30. Married or not, life ain't always a bed of roses but it ain't all thorns either.

Yours, Mine, and Ours need to be defined. I.e. that which stays with my family (kids, grandkids) that which stays with your family, and what is ours - both things and money. Settle this early and you have a good chance to make it.

Remember you have baggage from your first and likely she does it this is not her first. Don't hesitate to get professional help if these things get in the way - marriage counseling is not just for first marriages!

Yes we both know that neither of us are perfect and as mentioned it's her second marriage also . We have been together 5 years already so pretty much we have things figured out . She likes to shoot on occasion and goes fishing with me . Likes deer meat and fresh catfish an bluegill haha in my eyes she's a keeper .

woody1, 28 for us the day before yours!!. I kind of look at it like not giving 100%, but shoot for 105% and try and outdo the other when it comes to treating them well. We always tease each other in that "Love you more". Will be arguing about that till I die!

after my first one I thought the same as you. Then I met my second one. I still was very nervous to commit and we lived together for 6 years before I finally asked. I figured 6 years with no major screwups and I was pretty safe. the first wife couldn't go 2 days without having me want to kill her. Maybe 4 days for the first year. I think the big difference for most of us is the first time was because everyone did it. All our friends were married, we wanted kids ect. The second one we realized you actually have to like the person your marrying.
I’d rather get shot twice than married twice...
Good luck, congrats and God speed!

Married once still together 39 years in June. Still don't know what she sees in me. Younger couple next door to us husband asked my advice on staying married so long,my advice 2 words 'Yes,dear". Cograts on the upcoming nuptials may it be a long and happy life for you and your bride.

I didn't marry until I was 46 which beat my father who didn't marry until he was 42! (Like father like son I guess.) Just had to wait it out until I could find the "one and only" for me. I knew that it would have to be someone that would put up with my love of everything shooting related and didn't stop looking until I found her. She shoots and hunts with me and so far we haven't encountered a problem that we couldn't figure out between the two of us. Our 20th anniversary is coming up on July 24th. Congratulations and best of luck in a life long endeavor!
