difficulties, sexual incompatibility, and lack of spiritual harmony.

And there is a large proportion of divorced women and men who are seized again by longing for married life, and so they try their luck once more — and this happens most often in the first two years after the divorce ...

Has each of them forgotten the first shock? Do they prefer the worries and cares of married life to deadly loneliness?

Do they hope for a happier life than the first?

In a word, do they become happier in their second marriage?

There is no doubt that a second marriage after divorce is attended by a great deal of good sense, wisdom, and steadiness of nerve. Because the first shock was a harsh one, the man is content with the least possible measure of virtues in his second wife, and the woman likewise ...

Those first illusions of dreams and fancies have evaporated, and

good sense and clear sight have taken their place ... Perfection does not exist in people, and it is a mistake to demand perfection in ourselves.

And had this wise clear-sight-edness of the second marriage accompanied married life in the first marriage, the causes of divorce would have almost disap-peared ..

Here, in the second marriage, the slightest shock leads to catastrophe .. and the two spouses know it; they know that they can do nothing but come to a sincere understanding ... And hence we find that the second marriage, among divorced men and women, is happier than the first.

— I shall never marry a third time, says one divorced man.

— You love your second wife very much, then? More than the first?

— Very, very much.

— And why?

— She is kind, intelligent, prudent, beautiful ..

— And did you come to know her after your divorce?

— I knew her before my divorce.

— Really!

— Yes — I forgot to tell you that I married my first wife.

A man of religion was preach-ing to a crowd of people, and he said to them:

"Whoever among you wants to enter Paradise, let him raise his finger" ..

All the listeners raised their fingers except one man. So the preacher asked him:

Do you not want to enter Paradise?

The man answered, saying:

"I do ... but there is no need to hurry."
