I believe every woman who desires to be married, should be. I think marriage is a beautiful thing, my parents were married for 25 years, prior to my mother passing away. Most of my immediate family is married, have been married once, upwards of 40 years together.
I am divorced and pay a bit of lip service at times (mainly with family) to saying I would like to be remarried, but being honest, I am very indifferent about it and my actions have shown it. I see all the positioning/jockying many never married women go through to get that ring and I am just like, been there, done that..what's next. I have a small group of people who understand my views, and it happens to be other divorced women.
I often struggle with understanding how being married again would benefit me or my young daughter, other than maybe increased financial security of a two income household. She has a relationship with her dad and positive male images around her, ie. her grandfather, uncles,etc, so I am not looking for her next daddy.
Also, it doesn't help that my life has been quite good since becoming single again. I have traveled to exotic countries, purchased my own home, am in the best physical shape I have ever been,progressed rapidly in my career and most importantly, have raised a beautiful, highly intelligent little girl who I love spending quality time with. I guess I struggle b/c, outside of having my daughter, most of the good things in my life, have happened when I was single.
I guess my point is to not lump all non-marriage minded women in a category as there are some of us who are that way intentionally.
