So you're divorced - does that mean that you shouldn't give it another try? Just because your first marriage failed doesn't mean that the next one will, too. Plenty of people get married a second time, whether as a result of divorce or being widowed, and the second time proves to be the charm. In fact, more than one-third of divorcees remarried after divorce, according to 2004 data from the U.S. Census. For about 50 percent of divorced people, those remarriages happened within 5 years of the end of the first marriage. With more than half of marriages ending in divorce, you're in good company if you're newly single and considering whether or not to marry again.
Emotionally, it's a personal decision. But divorcees tend to know what went wrong in their first marriages and presumably wouldn't want to make those mistakes again. So theoretically, a second marriage would be more successful. Then again, a divorced person may be more inclined to throw in the towel in a second marriage because of a sense of impermanence regarding marriage. If you're considering remarriage, then it's important to have all aspects of your first marriage settled - financial arrangements, child custody, etc. Try premarriage counseling with your new partner in order to hash out any unresolved issues and lay the foundation for a strong marriage. Finally, think positive. Leave any negative thoughts about your first marriage or pessimism  about marriage in general in the past. Don't let your past mistakes drag you down when you're ready to start afresh.
