I have been married once at the young age of 19. I was married for 10 years and then divorced. My ex and I are now best friends longer than we were married.
My dad's been married twice and my mom was married 5 times,(she was going for a record). Actually she married one guy twice, a small technicality. She finally found the right one and they've been married over 10 or 11 years now.

I guess I have been very very lucky with my parents, they have only married once and have been together now for 36 years which is some going! I think my mum deserves a medal for putting up with him for so long. I think you get less for life!
I myself, haven't been married and neither do I intend to. I am staying single for the rest of my life!

Never married. Mother married three times (widowed twice) sister married twice. and brother married four times (twice to the same woman). My two stepfathers were all married twice. I thought that was enuff for one family so I decided it was time to stop.....Im 71 and still going strong.

Once and once. I was engaged when I was young. But didn't go through with it. My father was also engaged before he met my mother. They broke up before he went to war. After coming home, he met mom.

Me: once; Mom: 3 times; Father: 5 (he'd do it a few more times but can't afford an official divorce from #5). And we were all raised Southern Baptist!

My parents have been happily married now for 50 years, and it is a first marriage for the both of them. Me I have done this dance twice now and said to my husband, you are so stuck with me because I am not doing the divorce thing again. LOL.
We have been married for 9 years now and together for 13.
