Love Later In Life: Second Time Brides

Monica Winfield

Available for over a year

All this week on BBC Radio Leicester we've been hearing stories of Love Later in Life. 42% of marriages in England and Wales may end in divorce these days, but there's been a sharp increase in the over-50s and 60s tying the knot again. In fact, the number of second-time brides and grooms increased by 21% and 35% respectively between 2011 and 2012. But is it more tricky when one or both of you already have children, or even grandchildren? Janine from Leicestershire was a divorced mother of two teenagers when she found love the second time around with now husband Terry. BBC Radio Leicester's Becca Bryers went to meet Janine and her daughter Sarah.
