Best Answer

The Washingtons did not have a happy marriage, so Martha encouraged George to run again. She felt it would help him have purpose in life and get him out of the house. When he decided to not run again, she tried to persuade him to run anyhow, and asked his good friend Thomas Paine to try to talk him into it.
