No one wants to anticipate the possibility of divorce when deciding to marry. If you are marrying someone that is on their third marriage, you have a much higher chance of divorce. According to the experts at divorcerate.org the divorce rate increases significantly with each marriage a person has. Starting with 40-50% of first marriages ending in divorce and as many as 75% of third marriages ending in divorce, the chances really increase.

All of this means that if you are getting married to someone who is on their third marriage there is a thirty percent greater chance that the marriage will end in divorce. A modern relationship has a lot more hazards than it used to. While everyone wants to be hopelessly in love, an increasing number of older singles are forced to balance the traditional romantic impulse with cold pragmatism.

Dating is a little bit like investing. When you are young, it is worth it to take big risks on volatile stocks. But as people get older, they should be a little more careful. For a twenty-year-old college student without children or many financial obligations, a relationship is an adventure. Young people are drawn to exciting and mysterious people. But after a few kids and a divorce, people begin to find that a gamble on a relationship is shared by everyone in the family, which means that risks should be calculated.

Since the statistics are stacked against you, make sure you get all the facts before you decide to get married. Of course every relationship is different and his marriage to you will be nothing like his other marriages but find out as much as you can before you take any vows. What can it hurt? If there is nothing in his past to make you have seconds thoughts about marriage, great. If there are things in his past you are not comfortable with, you know before you've made a commitment.
