I didn't realize that there is more to a remarriage than just having a second marriage. Even when you aren't bringing children from a previous marriage into the new one.
Remarriage without children:
When a couple remarries, they carry experience and more realistic expectations into their new marriage. However, there are times where one or both persons don't recognize what the actual issue from the previous marriage was and don't fix it, or know it, but deny it. That can cause some serious issues in this new marriage. both persons can have baggage and may not be fully detached from their former spouse, which can later cause some problems.
Remarriage with children:
This can be tough, for not only do all the previous things I mentioned apply, but that finances involving children, possible frequent contact with the former spouse due to the connection with children. Acceptance between step-parent and step-child. How to adjust with discipline, and many other factors like grandparents' involvement and friends.
Some may think, "Oh, I can just get married again and everything will be okay." Remember to take into consideration all those who can be affected.
