Give it time. When you remarry time is a major factor. If you make decisions on the rebound they most likely will not be sound. Time is needed to heal from emotional wounds of the past. Also, when you first separate there is the loneliness factor; you may remarry due to being lonely, which is not a good reason and unwise.
Confront and resolve past issues. If you can't do this don't remarry, otherwise, it's guaranteed to fail. Time, in this case, can work against you because you may forget the pain of the past. Don't harp on it, but don't allow it to slide either.

Be honest and don't hide anything. When you plan to remarry an ex, deception and manipulation must go. You both know each other very well, so the other one will perceive you have not changed and may back out. Don't underestimate your ex they know you better than you think.
Build trust. More than likely things happened to destroy trust between you and the ex. Trust is extremely important if they don't trust you then there's not much chance of remarriage. Actions speak louder than words. Therefore, make a special effort to show them that you're worthy of their trust.

Consider the kids if you have any, however, do not remarry just for them. If you're uncertain of remarriage don't give the kids false hope. It may be wise to keep it a secret from them until you're positive. They already have emotional damage from the divorce no need to add to it.
Accept responsibility for your part in the break up it takes two to tango. It's normal to blame someone else, but this doesn't make it right. When couples remarry the blame game needs to stop! Be realistic and know that nobody is perfect. Instead, develop better communication skills to resolve issues.
