Experience doesn't help

Second marriages a rocky road for many

I knew the figure for failed second marriages was high, but not this high:
AUSTRALIANS are willing to take a second chance at love, with almost one-fifth of weddings involving a partner who has been married before. However, while only a third of first marriages end in divorce, the figure rises to 60 per cent for second marriages.

Maybe people should just skip their second marriage, and go right from their first to their third marriage?

It would only require a minor rewrite of the marriage laws, and the laws of number.
