I used to think that it would scare me too much to marry someone who had been divorced, but now I actually am married to someone who came from a divorce! lol I am not worried about it at all though with my husband because we have a really great relationship and it's something that we've discussed a lot, and he is always telling me all the things about our marriage that are so much better than his first one and how the mistake of his first marriage helped him to realize what he actually wanted in a marriage. Also, the reason they got divorced was her fault because she was unfaithful, so I'm not worried about having it happen to our marriage :)

If I LOVE on the person, then I don't think I'd feel scared out of it. Everyone deserves to love someone and be loved by someone, sometimes there are reasons why people ends up into this situation.
Of course, we have to get and know more about each other before jumping into a more seroius relationship. There's a process everyone needs to undergo with, a sort of step by step procedure to avoid more complications.

Yes, not because the man has not been married then he would be a good husband when the time comes. Someone from divorce might have a better maturity since he learned what causes divorce. I believe you should know the reason of divorce, if the reason is he hit or abuse his wife or children or he is irresponsible then you should think twice. But if you dont see anything bad like that, then maybe its just that things dont work well.

I did marry a man that was divorced. I was divorced, too, though so I couldn't say too much. I think in a way, having gone through the first divorce has made my husband more determined to make this one right. His first divorce was no fault of his own. He fought like crazy to keep it alive but his wife wanted to move on to other men. I really think you would need to look at the reasons for the divorce before answering this question. Each circumstance is different.
