I can answer this logically and in a historical context, but it's not going to be very PC

Lay it all out there... theories abound, perhaps they all are true to limited scopes and extents, let's hear yours/

This isn't going to be very popular

Divorce is common because people don't know what marriage is for anymore, why should they respect an institution whose value is touted as intrinsic rather than practical?

These days it's become just "something you do" instead of something you do for a real reason

It's common because integrity means nothing in western culture, only benefit of the self is valued in modern society

It's easy to say the words "til death do us part" or the like, it's another thing altogether to say something and mean it. People in western society don't see any harm in being liars. It's easy to walk away from a promise when you have no true self-respect or integrity

A true marriage is a pact between people to dedicate themselves to creating a family and raising their offspring in a way that is either beneficial to society, or at the very least, not detrimental

Anybody with a functional reproductive system can go and get knocked up. People (mostly women, it's hormonal) want children, the same way a child wants a puppy. They don't weigh the consequences, they don't consider how difficult life is going to be for their child, they just have kids because that's "what you do"

Theoretically, one should only conceive a child intentionally if one plans to dedicate ones life to raising that child properly, and it's nearly impossible to do this alone, thus the need for a lasting partnership between the parents. Ideally one wouldn't conceive a child unintentionally, but this is not an ideal world.

These days many people go through the motions of marriage because they are pressured to socially, or they just want tax cuts, or they use it as a way of securing their romantic interest like property. But this is foolish, because objectifying and claiming ownership of another person can be done without marriage, and marriage doesn't physically prevent anyone from leaving, cheating, etc

Ignorant of the true purpose of marriage, people get married because they think they're "in love" though most people these days have a gross misconception of what love is. So when their pseudo-love turns out to be insufficient to fuel their egos, they abandon their "pact" to search for sense gratification elsewhere

Divorce is common because western society as a whole has abandoned purpose and integrity in favor of profit and instant gratification
