God's basic plan for our lives is for two people to become one, and to live together in perfect harmony. If we were perfect that is how we would do it. God gave us Christ and forgiveness through Him because we are not perfect. God also allows divorce for that same reason.
You have become one with a person, it would be better that you do not become one with someone else. God also wants happiness for you, and some people need a mate to be happy and content. So whether you may marry again is something private, between you and God.
God gives us rules to follow for our benefit. If we live in perfect harmony with every one of those rules, it results in abundance and joy. We absolutely have to do the best we can (some call it works) to stay in harmony. He gave us the Holy Spirit so we can better understand Him. If you found someone you could share yout life with in a Godly way and didn't marry him because of Godly rules, but lived in unhappiness and resentment because of those rules, you would be more out of harmony with God because of the unhappiness and resentment than if you united with another person and lived in contentment and peace with your Lord. If you can tell God that you love Him so that you prefer honoring the first person you were one with by not taking on that relationship with another, and you could do it without resentment or unhappiness, it would be better.

Here are some scriptures on the subject:
Matthew 5
31 “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
Matthew 19
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
I Corinthians 7
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
