[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marriage is my second, H’s third. Our previous marriages were when we were young and didn’t really know what to look for in a marriage partner.

I think a big part of our success was we were older (I was mid 30s, he was early 40s)  and already had kids, so there wasn’t the pressure of settling down and having kids before it’s too late. We actually did end up having a child together, but since neither of us felt we HAD to, we went into things with a clearer head.

What also helped:
- we have a ton in common and would have been friends anyway. Neither of us had much in common with our previous spouses. 
- we’ve both done tons of therapy and have read books on relationships 
- we both strongly believed that our kids should come first, so there was no conflict or resentment surrounding that. He and I have both dated people who were jealous of our kids, or who expected us to put them above our kids, and neither of us wanted to go through that. [/quote]
