不再关注离婚率为何美国人再婚几率上升

不过美国人一生当中有三分之二的时间来选择再婚，这一事实或许有助于人们摆脱失败婚姻并找到新的幸福――这与就业市场中的人员流动相似，可以使整体经济更具活力。

Lynne and Chuck Tonini are among those having a better time the second time around.

琳内•托尼尼(Lynne Tonini)和查克•托尼尼(Chuck Tonini)就是在第二次婚姻中更加幸福的一对夫妻。

Mrs. Tonini, 45 years old, a business manager at an optometrist's office in Huntsville, Ala., first got married at age 23--a relationship that lasted 15 years and led to two children. Mr. Tonini's first marriage, which produced three children, lasted a similar amount of time, before going sour in the mid-2000s.

现年45岁的琳内是亚拉巴马州亨茨维尔一个验光师办公室的业务经理，她23岁时第一次结婚，这段婚姻维持了15年并育有两个孩子。查克的第一次婚姻带给他三个孩子，也持续了大约15年，在2005年前后结束。

After their breakups, Lynne met Chuck, now 39, and they became friends, then romantically involved. The couple waited five years before getting married in April 2013.

各自的婚姻失败后，琳内与现年39岁的查克相遇，他们成了朋友，然后相互爱恋。五年之后的2013年4月，他们步入婚姻的殿堂。

Mr. Tonini says he looked for different qualities this time around--things like self-sufficiency. 'When you get older, you look at things more maturely, and you want a more well-rounded person,' he says.
