"Between Flawed People"... A Final Blow to a Woman Preparing for Remarriage

Only-U·Bienarae Survey Results
"Once was enough, just date" also hurts

Women preparing for remarriage reported that the most painful thing to hear is the phrase "How long can two flawed people last together?" In contrast, men in the same situation said they felt upset when they heard "You’ve tried once, isn’t that enough?"

On the 1st, remarriage information company Only-U and marriage agency Bienarae announced the results of a survey conducted from the 20th to the 25th of last month targeting 538 men and women nationwide who hope to remarry. When asked, "Which negative comment about remarriage hurts the most?" one in three women (36.4%) answered that it was when they heard "How long can two flawed people last together?" This was followed by "You’ve tried once, isn’t that enough?" (28.3%), "Why bother with remarriage when you can just date?" (21.2%), and "The outcome of remarriage is obvious anyway" (14.1%).

For the same question, the most common response among men (34.6%) was "You’ve tried once, isn’t that enough?" Next were "The outcome of remarriage is obvious anyway" (28.2%), "How long can two flawed people last together?" (21.2%), and "Why bother with remarriage when you can just date?" (16.0%).

Those hoping to remarry believe that accurately understanding their remarriage partner is more difficult compared to their first marriage. Regarding why it is hard to accurately understand a remarriage partner, 36.1% of male respondents answered "Because they have been through a lot," while 38.3% of female respondents said "Because there are too many considerations." For men, the second and third reasons were "Because there are too many considerations" (28.6%) and "Negative image of the opposite sex" (21.2%), while for women, the second reason was "Because they have been through a lot" (25.3%) and the third was the same as men, "Negative image of the opposite sex" (21.6%).

Regarding these results, a company representative said, "Remarriage is not only limited by fewer candidates compared to first marriage, but also because people do not easily disclose their divorce, making it quite difficult to find a remarriage partner." They advised, "Therefore, if you openly acknowledge that you are divorced to those around you and actively pursue remarriage with the attitude of finding someone who truly matches you rather than having excessive expectations, you can succeed in remarriage."
