I'm just saying. Not volunteering, or anything.

Mrs. Brig initiating the divorce does solve a few of those problems - at the very least, it prevent the Brig from looking like he's trading up wives.

But! His wife ends up divorcing him canonically anyway (he's remarried by the Seventh Doctor's era), but I don't think it's specified when that happens. So, after the papers go through, a rather frustrated Brig marches himself up to Cambridge, finds Professor Shaw and...well, doesn't propose precisely. More like throws the idea out there after a half-page of sardonic banter or so. Liz laughs him off at first, insists that she's not going to be his rebound wife, and...eventually relents.

Of course, because the Brig's still a soldier, his wedding ceremony still has to have full military honors, so most of UNIT has to be there. This gives the Doctor an opportunity to laugh at Liz about her wedding dress, and for her to greet him with "You mean they haven't fired you yet?"

Also, domestic!Benton must fit in here somewhere. Because we all know that he was very supportive of his boss during that difficult time.
