Second chance in life, good or bad idea?

For men whose marriage ends because of death of their spouse, there is often a desire to repeat the happiness they knew.
These men love being married, and they are good husband material.

As the old adage goes, when there is a death in a marriage, women mourn, men replace.

It boils down to differences between the sexes:

While both men and women want companionship and security, many women might be more cautious about taking a new man into their lives and tend to hold out for romance.

Men, on the other hand, typically seek someone to organize their world, the everyday household tasks, their social lives and to keep them company and of course, intimacy!
It's really about having someone to talk to and not having to come home to an empty house at night,

The women whom widowers marry, often feel they are being measured against the idealized first wife.

Some men that remarry soon after their first wife death, say that they are very happy to find what they could replicate the happiness of their first marriage saying:
"I consider myself very lucky to have been able to do it twice in the same lifetime."
