After working with families in the DC Area for over 16 years and observing their dynamics, here are the 4 key reasons that explain why over 70% of second marriages don’t last:

2. Rushing Into Things;
3. Money; and
4. Kids.

Also, look into attending a couple’s counseling seminar, or you can order the workbook “Focus of Forever” by AAML at www.aaml.org
