Will you be allowed a second marriage that is actually acknowledged in the eyes of the church. This can be quite disheartening; read on to discover things you should consider and how Christianity will impact on you as a divorcee looking to enter into a second marriage.

The Ceremony
Deciding on how you want the ceremony to be, will depend on your situation. If you both been married before you might opt for a low key affair with a small guest list including only close family and friends. If neither of you never been married why not choose to have a traditional ceremony complete with church service.

Involving Children
If it is possible, involve children in the planning and preparation of the marriage to make them feel part of your plans. Allow your children to act as a bridesmaid, flower girl or ring bearer and if they are old enough they could even give a speech.

Pre Nuptial Agreement
Pre nuptial agreements make sense if you have interests you want to protect. It may seem unromantic but necessary if you have any type of asset that could be affected. It is especially important if you have your own children whose inheritance could be affected. It is also a good time to review your Will to ensure your assets go you want them to go.

What happens afterwards
If there are children involved on either or both sides you will have to consider what life will be like after you get married. You and your new partner will need to sitdown (with the children if they are old enough and decide where they will live.

Remarriage and Religion
If you are a Christian you will have to address your religious faith and beliefs before you can even think about getting remarried. In the eyes of the church in order to remarry in a church you have to repent or get an annulment for your previous marriage your priest will refuse the rites. Obviously this is only the case in certain Christian religions. An alternative is to get remarried with a civil ceremony. If this is something you are thinking about it might be worth visiting your priest or vicar and explaining what you plan to do. You may feel better about it and they could offer advice and spiritual guidance.
