He needed a wife.

Previous wife (Jane Seymour) had provided him with a son. He now needed a wife to look after and raise his son.

Henry wanted to 'recapture his youth'.

Thought a young wife would help stop the onset of old age (Henry was 50 by the time he married Anne of Cleves)

He had a Portrait from someone and thought she was beautiful, but Henry did think she was the person he hoped she would be.
