By not marrying, Elizabeth was able to stay focused on business at hand - without the distractions of having to raise children or look after a family. Being single also afforded her a more powerful role, without the influence of a King by her side. It has been speculated that leaving herself 'eligible' as a wife may also have kept foreign powers from attacking England - as foreign Kings would not want to attack a nation ruled by a woman that they would possibly one day pursue.
