Why are so many of my friends getting divorced?

It is a complex issue, but there are several possible reasons. One possibility is that people are marrying later in life and therefore have more difficulty finding partners with compatible values and goals. Another factor is the rising cost of living, which makes it harder for couples to maintain a comfortable standard of living. Additionally, people are becoming increasingly individualistic, and may not be willing to compromise on certain issues or accept certain behaviors from their partners. Finally, divorce can also be caused by mental health problems such as depression or substance abuse.
