No, I do not think second marriages can work. Obviously, there was a reason for becoming divorced/separated during the first marriage. Things may be fine for a little while but they tend to go back to the same problems. People tend to relapse and their old ways come out again.

My partner and I separated two weeks ago. We were in our second stint together. It started well. However, those old problems resurfaced. This time they were worse than before. She became more controlling this time. She did not do anything around the house as far as cooking and cleaning. In our previous relationship, she atleast attempted to do those things. She never developed any goals or motivation to do anything.

I believe after a divorce, it is best to start fresh. Live life for a while. Have fun learning about someone new. Dating new people can be an awesome experience. Make sure the person you date is well grounded. Someone who shares common interests with you. Take things slowly. The last thing you want is another painful relationship.

Stray away from second marriages/relationships. I have been there and done that. I am speaking purely from experience. It is very rare that these situations work long term.
