Remarriage: For Better Or Worse
THE RIO GRANDE HERALD THURSDAY, APRIL 8,1982 PAGE 4
"Going to the altar" a second time?
Keep in mind that remarriage isn't just
marrying again" - in fact it's usually
viewed by the two partners as a distinctly
different step from the first time, and yet it
still may have both favorable and un-
favorable implications, says Diane Welch, a
family life education specialist.
Welch is on the home economics staff of
the Texas Agricultural Extension Service,
The Texas A&M University System.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's
statistics, of all marriages currently con-
tracted, 41 percc it involve at least one
partner who was previouslv married, she
says.
In the past, remarrL ommonly
due to the death of one panner, but today,
do orced persons contitute nin-tenths of the
total number of people remarrying, Welch
says.
in today's remarriages, both positive and
negative characteristics may arise. Some
can be lessened, whil some baffle the couple
and society because today's remarriage
phenomenon is still relatively "new."
Negative strains should be recongnized
and treated with caution and concern to help
reduce possible threatening effects, Welch
advises.
Such strains come about as a result of
internal factors. For example, combining
past and present elements of family
organization may effect the couple itself as
well as children and relatives, she adds.
Externally, man) social institutions, such
as society, church, education and family,
don't know how to deal with or what to call
reconstituted families, Welch notes.
As a result, "cultural ignorance" arises.
Society doesn't know how to make changes
involved in relating to "non-nuclear" family
forms, she explains.
On the other hand, reconstituted families
may become more unified when they are
prepared to deal with inadequacies of social
institutions and prior loyalties of family
members, she emphasizes.
In addition, studies indicate that married
individuals make more mutual decisions
and exchange feelings and emotions more
often with greater ease than in their
previous marriages, the specialist explains.
Also, remarried husbands and wives
report greater flexibility in dividing
housework. These individuals say they
experience the same degree of cooperation
and agreement as in their first marriages,
she adds.
Hut whether or not these finding s indicate
actual or perceived circumstances is
debatable, the specialist points out.
Remarried individuals tend to exaggerate
the negative aspects of a previous marriage
and overstate positive features of their
current marriage, Welch says.
However, the specialist adds, two facts
indicate the possibility for stability in
second marriages:
. second marriages occur when people are
older and have more life experiences,
. individuals are more likely to consider
first-marriage experiences and modify their
expectations and behavior the second time
around.
At any rate, "for better or worse," all
indications conclude it's not the same the
second time around, the specialist says.

I .a Parroquia, juntamente con la Sociedad
de Esposos Cristianos por, la Paz y la
Justicia, felicitan muy sinceramente a todos
los que estan corriendo puestos publicos, en
la Communidad, y a todos los que han
venido a tornar parte en las tribunas. Segun
impresion de todos es que han sido muy
correctosen sus palabras. l,a Communidad
reconoce, que por primera vez, y hasta
ahora, en la Historia de la Politica, nunca se
han respetado y tratado de un modo tan
noble y resptuoso. Pedimos al cielo que todo
siga igual. Todo el que quiera puestos
publicos que enipiece respetando el honor y
la honra de los demas. Esto es lo noble,
caballero v cristiano.
Pelicitamos a Nuestra juventud por el
buen espiritu que manifiestan al querer ir,
cada mes, en numero crecido, a los Retiros
Espintuales de San Juan. Termino medio,
son diez 0 doce cada mes, los que toman
parte, durante tres dias. Son ya cuarenta
los que se han beneficiado de este
movimiento espiritual. Solamentc la
juventud generosa y de principios cristianos
puede cambiar este rnundo tan entregado
hoy a lo material.
Felicidades y congratulaciones.

KANSAS CITY ' _ It's
an adoption program a parent
could love: unlimited visitation,
expenses as low as $15 a year,
a trained staff to handle feed-
ing and clean-up, and year-
round babysitting.
Of course, the "child" might
be a giant fruit bat, crested
porcupine, or a river otter.
But Kansas City hay some
broad-minded "parents," and
they are responding to an
Adopt a Wild ChUd" campaign
recently launched by the Kan-
sas City Zoo.
for as little as $15 a year a
zoo parent can feed a tarantula
(10 crickets a week), while *5,-
500 feeds Casey, the bull ele-
phant, who needs 23 pounds of
cabbage and carrots and 70
pounds of hay a day.
