Cold Feet?

I enjoy reading the other blogs almost as much as I enjoy writing mine. I like to read the different point of views and array of experiences the bloggers have had with divorce. One post about the divorce rate being higher for second marriages kinda scared me, though.

Our wedding day is quickly approaching, and it seems that everything is coming together as it should. But those details are easy: Picking flowers, cake frosting and colors schemes. The things that are not so easy are communication, compromise and the thousand other aspects of maintaining a healthy relationship.

As confident as I am in our relationship, a part of me is somewhat scared of having another marriage fail. Perhaps my divorce from my first husband was so painful that I have a defense mechanism that is trying to protect me. Or is it possible that I have a small case of cold feet?

I will admit that I did not have cold feet at my first wedding. However, I think that I was so young that I just didn't have the life experience to draw upon at that point, and no one spoke up and said, "Are you sure you want to be married to that?"

I probably wouldn't have listened anyway. I have the need to find out on my own and I guess that is what I will do this time around. All the good signs are there and perhaps I just need to trust myself.
