To be honest, I'm not sure Tru. After the ugliness of the divorce it would take a great deal of trust and a high degree of comfort.
So, would maybe be an answer?

I have thought about this and my main concern, of course, is economical. The government does not encourage older people to remarry. There was an earlier thread about this. I have worked for some older Americans and a few who were living together instead of getting married and that was the main reason, the loss of 1/2 of their income. Times are getting harder, prices are going higher, and as an older American, we have to watch our budgets.

Funny.. when I tell people that I have been divorced 16 yrs, they look at me like " Man, what is wrong with you?!" Than I tell them I want to remarry and they look at me like " Man, what is wrong with you?!" I loved being married.. just not to who I was married to. The "M" word seems to be a taboo and I find that sad.

Ah Tru, there aint nothing wrong with you.
To tell the truth, marriage is wonderful. It worked well for my parents.
Nothing wrong with taking your time, and saying NO if it ain't right. If I can't find someone I can be really comfortable with saying YES to, then I will keep on being me.
Nothing wrong with not settling for less than your ideal.

I understand the ecconomic impact and penalties with social security. But
for some who are in their fifties, there is the health insurance issue, and
benefits that employers only offer to married spouses.
As for me I understand that living together common law...can be the same as
marriage...but for some reason, it would feel like it was a temporary arrangement.
Yes I know..a marriage does not guarantee forever...but it would make me
feel like I belong to and with the other person.

If I did consider marriage again, we would have to live together for a period of time first. My ex and I dated exclusively for a year before we said "I Do" and I was fooled into believing I knew who he was. But I didn't. Afer all...it's a lot easier to 'get into' than it is 'to get out of'.

Nonickname, a lot of employers are now offering medical insurance to "significant" others, which is also a good thing for those who cannot afford to get "married". Personally, I'd rather find a good, honorable man and get married. I don't know if I could do like the older lady I cleaned for, "live in sin".

2) Because this time around I will marry the "right" man for the "right" reasons.
3) Because is God's promise to me.

I would remarry but this time it would for true love. Someone that is my equal and not just because it feels good. I did the seperate lives marriage and want someone that cares for me as much as I care for them. True love is out there. We may already know them or maybe not. It may not be love-at-first-sight but something that needs to be acheived. Either way, I have confidence that someone is out there for me.

Marriage is something that I have thought about. I'm not sure at this point. I think that if I meet a woman who has the interests in life and on relationship issues that I have, or at least close, I would probably consider it. Divorcing was tough. I have learned from that experience. I hope to meet this lady that I'm looking for and see where it leads. Slow and easy. Ya know what I mean?
