Coming to a final decision of getting rejoined to a new partner is one of the most difficult things to do as a single mom. It is much easier for a single mom with few kids like one or two than the one with more than two children. This does not cancel the chances of the later getting married the second time. There are just somethings that need to be put into consideration before this can work out. In life, things tend to turn out positive at times, even in odd situations. It might be easy for a single parent to find another love, but the chances of staying happily after are what this article is trying to address. Living happily in a second or third marriage might seem impossible or difficult, but people (even though not many) still manage the situation for a longer time with little or no problems. These steps below can be helpful in such situations.

1. Forgetting the past is very key here. A lot of ugly things led to your being a single mom, that’s true. This is why the past should not be remembered. Deciding to have a new family is a way of saying goodbye to all your ‘ex’. Recalling the past will only bring trauma and regret, stealing your happiness in your new home.

2. Rebuilding your life again is the way forward. It is going to be a very long walk to a new direction and so requires a new lifestyle, a new lesson to learn, new expectations, losses, and benefits.

3. Preparing your mind for the worse is also a good thing to do. Especially when your new partner has kids too. You definitely know there are bound to be a misunderstanding from time to time until they all get to understand each other better. So, getting ready for all that gives you the chance of not been taken unawares.

4. It is also crucial you are very certain about your new spouse knowing and accepting your status as not being a problem before agreeing to settle with him. Ask some questions on somethings you sense might be a problem later and hear his response.

5. Going for a single parent spouse can be a wise step to a happy reunion. If your new spouse has kids already just like you do, there are chances that the relationship will be having a higher percentage of survival with a higher occurrence of quarreling and fighting among the children as well. But you will be sure that your new spouse will not take you for granted because he sees you as a help in the raising of his kids.

6. Never create the impression of total dependence on your new spouse. Keep working hard to get some pay for yourself. This will boost your chances of being respected and appreciated by your new spouse.
