Many people decide they are ready to start dating again within a year of their divorce. However, there's a big difference between casually dating and deciding to get married again after divorce.
Studies show that couples who date for at least one year before making the decision to get married are 20% less likely to later get divorced. However, people who date for at least three years before marriage have the best chances of marital bliss, as this longer dating period reduces their chance of divorce by 50%.
