The 45-year-old actress said she wants to set a good example for her son, Marcell, 22, reported Female First.
"If I was going to get married, it had to be for love, because I wanted Marcell to see that real kind of love, the kind I yearn for.
"That old couple crooked and bent over but still holding hands. I know that kind of love exists and I'm not going to stop until I have that," she said.
Henson is a single mother. She got pregnant when she was in high school while Marcel's father and her boyfriend William Johnson was murdered in 2003.
