25% chance of surviving for 5 years?
The prognosis for second marriages is just this grim. Statistics show that 60 to 75 percent of remarriages will never survive to see their 5th anniversary. It's as if your second marriage was issued a death sentence even before you said your vows.
As a second wife you bare the brunt of the frustrations associated with trying to blend your new stepfamily. Perhaps that's because, even in these enlightened times, women still tend to carry most of the domestic responsibilities.
You may have had unrealistic expectations of what life as a second wife and stepmother was going to be. Or maybe you just feel more deeply and take situations more personally than your husband does. Regardless of why, you are in survival mode now.

For too long there have been little, if any, resources available specifically for remarried couples. Marriage advice books abound, but help with the unique challenges of remarriage has been sorely lacking. And empathy for a woman who was not the first to share her husband's name or bed has been all but nonexistent.
