Would You Marry Again if Widowed?

March 26, 2008

Image credit: Daniel Bendjy Interesting question because I have so many different role models to choose from. My father-in-law, Herb, hasn’t let death or divorce keep him from being married, his natural state. My mom, on the other hand, wouldn’t take vows again for a million dollars. She says she’s done caring for men.
Karma Kitja posted a terrific question on her blog: Women Only: Who Wants Committment? I couldn’t resist asking the same question here. There’s a lot wrapped up into it.

Marrying a Third Time

I don’t think I’d marry again. It would be hard to top what I have now. Besides, learning a whole new person- their likes, dislikes, attitudes and moods sound more like work than fun. But I do think I’d want companionship for dinner and travel. And, that doesn’t have to come attached to a penis.

Ladies, would you marry again in your bonus years?

Guys, feel free to answer, too. I’m betting more men say yes.

    Hi,

    To answer you question, yes I would remarry again. I would manage just fine by myself but I love having companionship with benefits. :-D

    My marriage is blissful. I’m too young to have that come to an end and not go out there and find it again.

    By the way, I know a women who has been widowed twice and is now on her third marriage. I asked her about it. Her reply was that she married 3 wonderful men who treated her special. She is glad to have had them in her life including her current husband.

    For anyone who may thing she must be pretty, far from it. She is up in years, sixty something and in need of dental work, but she has a lovely soul and is always happy.

    I was single when I met her and it fortified my belief that I could find a blissful relationship again.

    Take care,
    Emily

    Thanks,Emily. Rosalind Russell had it right-’ A smile is a woman’s best beauty secret’. I extend that to also include warm, caring heart.
    I don’t call myself a beauty, but you can’t prove that by my husband (bless his heart).

    Come back soon,
