Perhaps Elizabeth I thought that England needed a powerful female monarch. Perhaps she did not want to lose power to a man, which she would have done (in that era) had she married.
For more in-depth information about the possible reasons Elizabeth remained unmarried, see the related question further down this page.

What was Henry VIII of England's main reason for separating from the catholic church?
The pope, who was an uncle to his wife Catherine , refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry Boleyn. So, Ann convinced him that leaving the church would not only allow them to marry, but he could take the holdings of the church and to claim money/treasures held by it. Henry was excommunicated by the pope so that made it easy for him to create the Anglicized version of the Catholic Church and Ann was also pregnant with a child that Henry hoped would be a boy to inherit the throne. Instead she had Elizabeth who will serve as Queen for 63 years.
