This is a video I created several years ago, as a short video guide to second marriage. The format involves animated character giving basic tips on making it in a second marriage, and is based on this article: Guide To Second Marriage: How to Stay Together. I warn you that they kind of “talk funny” because it is these animated characters, but I still kind of like it! Have a look and let me know what you think.
Like I said, this content is taken from my article A Guide to Second Marriage: How to Stay Together. This was one of the first articles I ever wrote online, and it still gets quite a few readers. This was an article that partly based in a desire to find some hope in my marriage, and try to see the positive things that we were doing.

And in case you can’t listen to a video right now, or just prefer reading over watching, here are the main points made in the video:
Sometimes second marriages seem impossible, but here are four tips to help you, from a couple who have made it:
- Let go of the past. Forgive yourself, your spouse and your spouse’s ex-partner. By doing this, you can start creating better tomorrows.
- Put your spouse first. Make your spouse first and include them in your decisions. Don’t allow anyone, including your children, to disrespect them.
- This is not the Brady Bunch. Let go of the ideal and be grateful for what you have. This is real life, not the Brady Bunch.
- Be patient. It takes a long time for things to figure things out in a second marriage. Things are complicated, but be patient.
