If you were faced with a situation as in the movie "Cast Away" and your spouse had disappeared, was declared dead, but without a body ....

... being found, would you eventually remarry? What about if you did remarry and your spouse returned after many years of being missing? Would you take him back and leave your current spouse, or just make your peace with it?

It's unlikely I'd remarry. I believe marriage to be in the heart and I already gave mine away there is no remarrying.

For the sake of answering the full question... if I didn't feel this way and did remarry, I would leave my current spouse for my long lost one. True love never dies and only happens once.

A friend of mine who happens to be a woman had this happen to her. Her husband disappeared in an earthquake in South America when her children were young. He was assumed to be dead. SEVENTEEN years later he turns up. Seems he just took the opportunity to disappear and start a new life somewhere, and one day decided to show up. In the meantime she had remarried. She stayed with her new husband. I think I would do the same.

This is a tough question. I don't think I would.

I am a person who would hold out hope even in the most grim situation.

If many years had passed and I fell in love, I could see how that would make me feel differently.

For sake of answering the second half of the question . . .
IF I did remarry it would be because I came to terms with the loss of my wife, then fell in love. I would not leave the second wife, I would have love and vows to consider. Were this to ever happen I would see lots of sadness and counseling in my future. . .

i think that the only true answer could only be answered when the spouse returned and it was time to make that decision.

Without a doubt I would remarry if my husband disappeared. If he came back after many years have passed I would stay with the current spouse IF it was a good marriage. If it was bad marriage I might decide to leave if the first marriage was golden.
