Finding that one, true soulmate is magical. However, it does not mean you should immediately marry them.
Do not get married to your true love on the same day that you got divorced from the first mistake. Just don’t. Yes it’s legal, assuming the divorce was done right. But, it makes your anniversary also your divorceaversary. While starting anew is a great thing. Starting anew a little bit slower is a better thing.
Matthew Thompson is a divorce lawyer and wants you to get re-married, but does not think you should do it on the same day that your divorce became final.
Anniversary– (noun)an·ni·ver·sa·ry; a date that is remembered or celebrated because a special or notable event occurred on that date in a previous year.
The critical part of that definition is a date that is remembered. The funny part is that it is NOT hard to remember, but it is EASY to forget.
There is no secret to achieving Happily Ever After, either, by the way. It takes work, commitment, faith, stick-to-it-ness, and even some luck.
Matthew Thompson is a Divorce attorney and has practiced Family law for a decade and reminds you Don’t Forget Those Anniversaries.
Happy Anniversary!

My parents recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary!
As I was inquiring about how long it “felt,” I was struck by the fact it was literally longer than a lifetime for my two brothers and me. I was asking dad about his “advice” and he recounted that in those 45 years that mom “never forget anything.” Mom laughed out loud. That’s LOL for the texting generation.
What I did NOT get were the clichés of never going to bed angry, that they just grew apart, or that us moving out(the kids) left them with nothing in common. So what did I takeaway from that? Keep a sense of humor. It was a big part of my life growing up. Laughing at yourself and others, primarily others. The cliché that did work and that is still working “laughter is the best medicine.”
