Remarriage is a marriage that takes place after a previous marital union has ended, as through divorce or widowhood. Some individuals are more likely to remarry than others; the likelihood can differ based on previous relationship status (e.g. divorced vs. widowed), level of interest in establishing a new romantic relationship, gender, race, and age among other factors. Those who choose not to remarry may prefer alternative arrangements like cohabitation or Living Apart Together. Remarriage also provides mental and physical health benefits. However, although remarried individuals tend to have better health than individuals who do not repartner, they still generally have worse health than individuals who have remained continuously married. ==Remarriage following divorce or separation== As of 1995, depending on individual and contextual factors, up to 50% of couples in the USA ended their first marriage in divorce or permanent separation (i.e. the couple is not officially divorced but they no longer live together or share assets).〔Bramlett, M. D., & Mosher, W. D. (2002). Cohabitation, marriage, divorce, and remarriage in the United States. Vital and Health Statistics. Series 23, Data from the National Survey of Family Growth, (22), 1-93. PMID 12183886〕 Couples typically end their marriage because they are unhappy during the partnership; however, while these couples give up hope for their partner, this does not mean they give up on the institution of marriage. The majority of people who have divorced (close to 80%) go on to marry again.〔Cherlin, A. J. (1992). Marriage, divorce, remarriage (rev. and enl. ed.). Social trends in the United States. Cambridge, MA, US: Harvard University Press. As cited in Bradbury, T. N., & Karney, B. R. (2010). Intimate Relationships. W. W. Norton & Company.〕 On average, they remarry just under 4 years after divorcing; younger adults tend to remarry more quickly than older adults.〔Wilson, B. F., & Clarke, S. C. (1992). Remarriages: A demographic profile. Journal of Family Issues, 13(2), 123 -141. PMID 12343618〕 For women, just over half remarry in less than 5 years, and by 10 years after a divorce 75% have remarried.〔 People may be eager to remarry because they do not see themselves as responsible for the previous marriage ending. Generally, they are more likely to believe their partner's behaviors caused the divorce, and minimize the influence of their own actions.〔Amato, P. R., & Previti, D. (2003). People’s Reasons for Divorcing. Journal of Family Issues, 24(5), 602 -626. 〕 Therefore, they remain optimistic that a new partnership will lead to better results.〔Bradbury, T. N., & Karney, B. R. (2010). Intimate Relationships. W. W. Norton & Company.〕 According to data analyzed by USA Today in 2013, (remarriage rates ) in the United States have dropped by 40 percent over the last 20 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Remarriage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
