I’m so happy I married a divorced man. And here’s why.

I never thought I’d end up married to a divorced father-of-two. I was 23 when we met and desperately in love with a boy of similar age, unmarried, cute, perfect.

He didn’t feel the same way about me.

My husband and I now joke that this is how he managed to get a date with me, due to severe heartbreak, because I would never have considered dating a divorced man if I was in the right frame of mind. I thought it would be way too complicated. I thought my family would freak out.

Well, my family did freak out, but the rest of it has been pretty awesome actually.

Here are 7 reasons why divorced men make the best husbands. No, really.

1. He's learned from past mistakes.

He has to learn from the mistakes he has made.

2. He's not afraid of commitment.

3. He has experience, if you know what we mean

4. He has reasonable expectations of marriage.

5. He's determined to make it work this time.

6. He may have kids, and so may you, all the better.

7. He's established his career.

Have you or your partner been married before? Is there anything we should add to this list?
