For this second marriage to be a success, there are a few things to consider:
How should you celebrate this new union? How can you organise the custody of your son or daughter? What are the steps to be taken in terms of inheritance or retirement?
Follow our guide to mastering every aspect of your new life and embarking on this adventure with your new love.
Where to arrange remarriage after divorce
Depending on your location and religion, it may or may not be possible for you to get remarried in a religious ceremony. If you opt for a second civil marriage, you’ll just need to go through the usual process of registering.
As part of this, you will have to attach the certificate of your previous marriage mentioning the annulment or the divorce. Apart from these administrative formalities, plan an event that it is unique and unforgettable. Whether you want a big party or an intimate ceremony, make the most of this second chance and the new step you are taking towards a beautiful life together!
Remarriage when you have children
.
While you are free to have a second wedding with the person of your choice, you need to be organised when you have a child from your previous marriage. The family must find a new rhythm with this person entering your life!
To preserve your family life after you remarry, take care to discuss custody with the other parent and reach an amicable agreement. There are lots of options. Far from being a source of stress, this issue will be simple if you take the time to discuss the situation. Your child may even be able to take part in the decision if they are old enough to understand. A parent who remarries wants the whole family to be happy. Open up the conversation to achieve this!
Remember, the consequences of your marriage may also be financial if there is child support or alimony involved. Take this into account to avoid unpleasant surprises!
How to have a successful remarriage
Once you have dealt with all the paperwork, look at sharing childcare between parents.
- Then make your new marriage a priority. To make this union work, throw yourself totally into it! Your only goal should be this: to find the perfect balance between your new life as a couple, your role as a parent and your professional life.
- To become a fulfilled wife or happy husband, release anger and resentments from your former relationship. Instead, focus your attention on your promising remarriage. From the very beginning of the relationship, strengthen the bonds with your stepchildren. There’s no better way to build a happy family life!
- For a fulfilling relationship, focus on communication. Honesty is the key to getting out of a difficult situation. Trust your partner and confide in them. Why not promise each other that you will address the issues before they become insurmountable mountains? Being open-minded will also help you to adapt and move forward together without generating conflict.
Whatever your concerns, remember that this remarriage is happening because you share a common love. Once you’ve dealt with the financial and childcare implications, focus on those precious feelings! Whether it’s your first or second marriage, every relationship has its share of happiness, so make the most of it!
