Love the Second Time Around

Terri J. Vaughn has publicly shared her experiences of love and remarriage through interviews and articles, notably her piece titled "Terri J. Vaughn on Why Love Is Better the Second Time Around," published on April 24, 2012.

Contrastingly, her relationship with Riley has been characterized by spontaneity and deep understanding. She embraced Riley’s impulsive idea to marry in Las Vegas—a stark contrast to the meticulous planning of her first wedding. Vaughn emphasized that her outlook on marriage evolved significantly by the time she married Riley, leading her to describe five key reasons why marrying again can be worthwhile: personal growth and spirituality, improved communication, better intimacy, realistic understanding of marriage as a partnership, and its positive impact on family and community.
