“Till death do us a part” is a common hrase used at marriage ceremonies, but things don’t always end up like this. Some marriages can last a lifetime, but there are others that end up walking away from their marriage when things don’t work out for various reasons.
The good thing is that people who get a divorce consider marrying again after a while. It is great when people are able to give marriage another try, with a renewed sense of optimism and hope for the future. However, doubt can also plague you while making the decision to marry again.
