You've weathered the storm of the divorce. You've toughened up to life as a single. Time passes and wonder of wonders you find that perhaps your heart can love again and even more of a miracle you find a mate equally willing to take a chance. You do the vows and exchange the rings and start out on this adventure all over again. Only this time you're older -- in my case, quite a bit older. I got married the first time at age 18 and was married twenty six years, single for two and remarried at age 48. I've been married for three years now.
