I have a friend who is on her third marriage and this one looks like it won't last either. I want to tell her that maybe she should try just being single for a while. She has pretty much always been married, but none of these relationships lasted. I think some people shouldn't be married at all or, at least, take a break from marriage if they've gone through so many divorces. I'm all for love, but sometimes it's better to just be in a relationship without the marriage certificate if you have a history of divorce. Can a person be married too many times or should it not matter how many times a person has been married?

I feel that there are those people who just CAN'T be alone. Even after relationships fail, they run to the next one, jumpin with both feet in and eyes closed. A new relationship feels good, but if this person doesn't have the skills to make one last, each will continue to fail. And she will continue to run full force to the next. Any relationship on the rebound is bound to fail. She needs to give herself time to be alone and be OK with herself before jumping into another doomer marriage.

When I decided to marry to my husband, and I just wanted I would get married once in my life. So far so good:) Although sometimes there will be disagreements and argues, but we have to learn how to give in. Trust and consideration are the most important for maintain a marriage well.

hi wachit14, i think its ok to keep on remarrying. As long as both of the partners are happy its cool. However, their are relationships that are meant only without a marriage certificate. So maybe your friend belongs to the said category. Just be happy for her and pray that it works out for the best this time :)

Yes! I think that three marriages, the result of deaths or a divorce (due to unfaithfulness) is maximum. I personally find too many marriages very suspicious - sends messages of intolerance, promiscuity, gold digger, etc.

I have been married twice. My first marriage lasted for five years. Now I am married for two years and so far, living happily ! There is no need to get married several times. If things are not working out even after you are married twice, i think the person should take a break and remain single for a while ! Take some time to figure out things about yourself and relax.. Try to be meet people and develop good friendship with others. Take things nice and slow with someone you get interested in. I think it is very important to give some time with a relationship before getting married. There should be no hurry for a marriage to happen !
