I was always pretty sure that Melinda would get back together with Marshall because it's a supremely dumb decision and Melinda's life is nothing but one supremely dumb decision after another.
I have no mother and no father. I am a mother of 6 children. It's in my best interest, and the best interest of my children, to not isolate myself from other Israelites. On a practical level, Marshall can help me with fixing my car, housing, discipline, etc. You can't survive in capitalism very well as a fatherless and motherless single parent trying to homeschool. On a practical level it's better for me to work with him as a team
And if he's physically attractive and mostly tolerable, that's the bonus.
Marriage doesn't always have to be about romance
Our Western notions of marriage being solely for romance and not survival as well is a modern notion
"Not all of us can afford to be romantic"
