Remarried

/ˌriːˈmærid/ verb

Definition

Got married again to a new spouse after a previous marriage ended.

Etymology

From Latin 're-' (again) plus 'married' (from Old French marier, to join in marriage). The prefix 're-' emphasizes doing something a second time.

Kelly Says

Remarriage rates have interesting patterns—men remarry faster than women on average, and second marriages have slightly higher divorce rates, possibly because people carry unresolved patterns from the first marriage.
