Remarry
Context Matters
Use 'remarry' when discussing relationships after a previous marriage has ended legally or by a spouse's death.

Not Automatic
'Remarry' implies a deliberate choice; it's not something that happens without a former spouse's consent or action.

Legal Implication
The term 'remarry' signifies that someone has legally formalized a new marriage, not just moved in with someone.
After the paperwork was finalized, they chose to remarry in a quiet ceremony.
