Why won’t widowers get married again?

From my YouTube channel comes the following question:

Hi Abel. I am married to my widower- but just curious about why losing a wife to death does stop some widowers [from] wanting to get married again, if they were fine to marry their first wife.

My answer:

  1. They're looking for companionship, not a relationship.

  2. They're with someone they don't love as much as the late wife.
