Product Description

There are 23 million divorced people in the United States today. More than 80 percent of these people will remarry, and many of those marriages will fail. Divorce recovery experts Edward Tauber and Jim Smoke draw on their 30 years of experience as divorce counselors and a survey of more than 600 individuals to explore why people end up divorced again and what they can do to successfully remarry.

To help readers avoid making the mistakes others have made, the authors present 13 wrong reasons to remarry, including:

• loneliness
• need to be needed
• to provide fathers or moms for kids
• to prove the divorce wasn’t their fault
• they’ve found their “soul mates”

Tauber and Smoke provide practical guidelines based on biblical principles to help people find partners who share values, have compatible personalities, agree on child–raising principles, and more. Includes helpful “Ready2Remarry” self test.

Amazing!
I really enjoy this book. It is concise, direct, and humorous. Both authors share from their life experiences as well as from observations they have made in their practice. There is practical advice listed with case studies to illustrate the need to think through a remarriage choice. I HIGHLY recommend this book to any person who has experienced a divorce and to anyone who is thinking of getting married at all!

Slow Down, Read This Book
Jim Smoke has been teaching about divorce for a decade or more.
He wrote a great book --- available right here on Amazon, called
"Growing Through Divorce." It's now available in a new edition,
but the old one is very solid also. Buy either one; both are good.

This book helps you avoid the "thirteen mistakes" we make as we
consider remarriage after divorce. Personally I think I made about
two dozen mistakes, but thirteen is a solid number. So many
remarriages fail --- slow down, read this book, think carefully
about what you're doing and why.

There's excellent help here if you're divorced and lonely,
and if you're seriously considering getting married again.

It was an eye opener. I especially benefited from the readiness test provided at the end. Great book for those who want to self-analyze themselves and their reasons to be married again.
