I think it perfectly fine if she keep her children #1 instead of new husband. If he have a children, they should come first too.

I think that as long as they are all happy about the situation, then it is their business and nobody elses. Everyone is entitled to be find happiness. If the paternal father is still involved with the children, then no attempt should be made to stop his involvement. The main thing is that the woman and her new husband present a united front to the children in relation to rules and discipline. I say, good luck to all of them and I would wish they all the best for a life full of happiness. :)

I think you should go for it. If you are in love and want to give marriage another chance go for it. I think of course you should take it slow and make sure your children are okay with it. Keep open communication between your children and new husband and I would say enjoy your life. So it did not work the first time.. that is no excuse to not fall in love and marry again.

sherinek- if the new husband dont want to see his new wife raising someone else's kids, he dont need to marry this women. Once they get married, her kids and his kids need to come #1 in the new parents life. Not each other's kids. but that if the new husband have any kids though.

Why not... In fact, partner is required all the time and it give lots of moral support. But at the same time, that women has to speak out clearly about the caring issue of her kid

Above all you have to think of your children! Just ask the questions, how do they feel about this man, am I comfortable with this man being a father figure to my children, and do I love this man enough to bring him into the family?? I say go for it if the kids like him and he gets along with them,and if he makes you happy!

i think that if the mother finds someone worthy she should marry him..coz the kids shouldnt have to grow up without a daddy

There is nothing wrong with getting married again. Just make sure that the kids know that daddy will still love them, that he is still there daddy, that the new man is a friend to them. And that they do have to respect him, but he is not a replacement. If the ex never had anything to do with the children and they do not know him, then just let the kids figure it out on there own, but yeah it's not like after our first marriage we are not allowed to be happy ever again..I say it's great!

I will answer...Yes. My hubby and i have 4 kids and 3 are not his. not only did he step up to the plate as their daddy but we are in the process of him adopting my 3 and he is part of their lives in all aspects. he helps with school,takes them to church, and my older 2 even go to work with him sometimes.he visits the schools and checks up on them.I know it is rare but some men do accept responsibility and yes it can be done.

Everybody deserves a second chance... and of course when it involves children there`s got to be a male model in their life..

i think since the woman is a divorcee and needs to continue with life then there is nothing wrong in that....and i guess whoever is marrying her must marry her for who she is and for loving her...so makes no diff whether she got kids already or not!!1
