Would You Marry Someone Who's Been Divorced Twice?

Idris Elba is about to be married for the third time, so Steve Harvey asked his Straight Talk panel (Keri Hilson, Christine Larkin, and Dr. Tiffany Davis Henry) is they'd draw the line if their S.O. was married twice.

I understand what they are trying to say with "it gives you experience" but marriage isn't a practice game. You're supposed to do it once. You can find out what you like and don't like by DATING. And if the person has been married 2 times, they are showing that they continually make bad decisions and don't fully research and know a person before committing their life to them. Hard pass.

I don't wanna be anyone's 3rd wife.

[timeka]

I did that. I was my ex husband’s third wife. Now I know better. Love just ain’t enough to keep a marriage together.

[chillin]

Ask a lot of questions trust me! It's a reason why he has two ex wives

[thePhoenixQueen]

My late stepmother was my dad's third wife and it was his longest marriage until she passed. He was completely devastated. It can work.

[DragonBellyTravels]

Don't ask a whole lot of questions. Watch him a whole lot of the time. Believe the actions not the gums flapping.

[tikeviawilliams]

It all depends, because somebody could've died, young age, even the wife could've cheated

[tieiatalks]

I’d been married twice, my husband never. We’ve been married 14 years.

[MakeYouTubeGreatAgain]

Good question, but it really depends on the reasons for the divorces.

[indigobeauty]

No. I feel like the person doesn't have a strong grasp of what marriage is and will give up once again.

I thought the same thing with a woman once. She was divorced twice and I thought she was the committing type and just wasn’t with the right men before. Boy was I wrong. She was abusive, a liar, and a cheater. Third marriages have a failure rate at 75 pct. Second ones are around 60 and firsts around 45. You’d have to be the dumbest person on earth to marry someone on their third. Besides who really wants to be the third husband or wife? You can try to figure it out all you want. At the end of the day they just aren’t cut out for it and should not be allowed to remarry.

I have been divorced before, my husband also was divorced when i met him, but trust me, if i divorce this time, i Will never marry again, and if someone keeps trying like it s a game or something, it's a RED FLAG, when we divorce the first time we should be able to get it right after that, and correct our mistakes, if not, the circle will repeat itself

[clintonadinkrah]

They don’t wanna say no because Steve has been through it

[candlecane]

Ladies, you need to make a coffee date with his ex wives and find out why the last 2 marriages failed. This is a red flag, sorry.

[jessicaleigh]

Sometimes it just doesn't work. I have attracted bad guys because my entire life I never valued myself. I had very low self esteem and some daddy issues and tried to fulfill my voids with men who turned out to be very abusive and narcissistic. I shouldn't have gotten married before but i did and suffered tremendously because of it. But I'm 38 now and realize my mistakes with my previous marriages and now walk the path alone. If one day i meet someone i would hope they wouldn't look at me like I'm a horrible person because i have failed marriages. But then again i don't ever wanna get married again and i understand not wanted to be with someone who has been married more than once

[victoriac]

It depends on the situation. My husband was married to the woman he had his daughter with at 19, married again trying to settle but realized it was a mistake and got divorced after a month. Now we have been married for 3 years and together for 5.

[GodsDe]

Keri, darling---PLEASE get that prenup!! There are gold-digging men out here, too!

[Letmechill]

yea....experience is the best teacher...but only fools can't learn any other way. ijs.

[jerryc]

Steve is on his third wife, yet people are on here ( YouTube and his show) for his wisdom and decision making. I would just get to know the person. To assign blame without knowing the circumstances speaks volumes on both my and that person's decision making skills. If I meet a woman who was divorced twice, I wouldn't write them off as a victim, or damaged or as a poor decision maker. There is shared blame in most divorces. I would just take the time to get to know them and not compromise myself in the process. You may miss out on something amazing.

Nope, NO Way am I marrying a guy that’s been married twice! Red Flags 🚩
