Henry VIII married Catherine Parr so that he could have a male heir (a son) take over the throne once he had died. This is the reason for him marring all his wives.

<< tecnically Henry already had a male heir !

Reason1 He needed a spare male heir because if Edward died then Mary would rule

Reason2 Henry was very ill and needed a wife to nurse him
