He has been broken down! Divorced men understand what it's like to be in a committed relationship within which there are compromises and accommodations. His resistance has already been broken down by another woman so that you don't have to endure the push back yourself.
He uses his words. Divorced men tend to be better communicators. There is a decent chance that he went to therapy during his marriage, if not after, and he has become fairly proficient at communicating needs and feelings more clearly.
He's been broken in! Another thing about divorced men that you might not want to think about but will happily benefit from? They just "get" you. That's because they've been with more women, or at least one woman for an extended period of time, and dealt with more attitudes, moods, issues, and emotions. With experience often comes understanding. In other words, he has already been broken in.

Home Depot!
My mother controlled my dad’s every move. I loved my dad dearly, but I could never be attracted to a man that would let me run all over him like my dad did.
I’ve even broken up with guys because they were too nice.
“I am trying to teach them to get everything financially settled (home, good bit of retirement, no debt, paid off vehicles, etc..) before entertaining marriage so if she does leave for whatever reason, they are protected and won’t lose it all in family court....”
Get a prenup from a family law attorney that is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA).Tell them to NEVER marry without one. If she balks, she’s not the one. Its the best way to protect both parties and their future children whether they are married 5 days, 5 years, or 50 years.
I’m a prisoner of circumstance.
I’ve never seen that statistic with the 75%.
I watch too many of the Discovery ID shows, though, and it’s made me wonder how many previously divorced remarriages end in murder.
You missed my point entirely. I went back and reread the commentary on this passage in “TheGenesis Record” by Henry Morris; he does not clarify or elaborate on the point either. Because of the Woman? Maybe, but Adam did not need his wife’s prodding to eat of the tree of life. Enough for now.
She makes it sound like marriage is always like the battles that take place at the peace conference between North and South Korea....with the guy playing the role of the North.
You will almost certainly look good compared to her ex husband who may have cheated on her, lied to her and fought with her.
She probably has money and her own home.
She has already been “broken in” too.
She has probably been told by her ex that she didn't put forward enough effort in bed and wants to prove she can please a man.
P
I did not know about the CDFA, my thanks for the heads up!
I don’t know. We’ve been married now 27 years. My husband was never married before. He was a child when we married, and I had a huge hand in raising him to be the man he is today. :)
We’re still married because he won’t LET us divorce and I’m a living Saint.
But it sure seems many, many people are divorced.
This is all very negative. We do know plenty of second marriages that are happy enough — some people do make mistakes and learn from them.
Fits me pretty good. Except for the quality time I spend with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. And adopted kids and grandkids.
Ain't no woman coming in here and re-arranging my stuff. I can just now find everything...

Big asumption
“A wise (divorced) man told me: “Never make the same mistake once.”
And marry your second wife first.
Those last 3 words are my philosophy of life...it took me more than 55 years to develop it (I just turned 60).
Think about it:
When it comes to marriage, it's never enough.
When it comes to your kids, it's never enough.
When it comes to your job, it's never enough.
When it comes to your relationship with God, it's never enough.
That last one comes from my understanding of 1 John 3:18: let us love not in word or speech, but in truth and action. It's not a bad thing at all, it's a matter of doing your best every day. I didn't understand the concept of unconditional love until my first child was born, but now I have a better understanding of the love God has for me.
Remember who ate the fruit FIRST, after being drawn in by the snake. She then drew Adam into her sin.
Laz,,,,?
There in a nutshell is the thinking.
That we are just plain broke, because of unreasonable child support is another thing that is not mentioned.
So I appreciate the idea that one woman is telling another to dae divorced men, she neglects to mention that many of us barely have two nickels to rub together.
