People get married because they are pressured into it whether internally or externally. Internally, referring to personal values and beliefs and external referring to what others (parents, peers, friends) expect of them. Before I start, I'd like to make it clear that I do not favor one religion over the other and while I do consider myself a non-denominational Christian, I am more spiritual than believing everything in the Holy Bible. This is arguably against traditional Christian beliefs, but that's for another time. Religion plays a major role in why people get married. The expectations of people's norms push other people to get married. Their personal beliefs also play a role in pushing them to getting married.
Although it is outdated, arranged marriges still happens in many cultures. My sister's brother in-law is a fine example of this. He was arranged marriage to a women and pressured by his parents because she was considered beautiful by the parents and they wanted beautiful grand kids. This is an old way of thinking, common in Asian culture and very bigotted if you ask me. The husband and wife are very toxic to each other, but because of the culture either of them want to break up from the relationship. The wife is stuck in fear for her financial stability because she has no skill and little education. The expectations of the culture are also pressuring them to stay together because it is shameful to divorce.
Now let's reflect on reasons NOT to get married. Do not get married because of financial stability. Do not get married because you are presured into it or expected to by your culture or society norms (e.g. had kids together so expected to get married). Do not get married because you are afraid of abandonment (this one can be hard because you have to be emotionally mature to break away from the relationship). Lastly, do not get married just because you touched uglies with your significant other and fell "in love". As a 31 year old Asian Male Bachelor (bachelor meaning I've never been married) I can attest to the many seasons that I've survived and watched marriages of my family or friends fail. I just had a friend who recently divorced his wife. While I do admit that it could have worked out better, neither were willing to compromise with the other. The chemistry wasn't there and each one wants a different thing in life. In western society, I think that it's fair to say that seeing a divorce becoming a social norm. No one wants to go through one, but its becoming more common to see.

So I will just say don't judge if you've never really been there.
I can say there really are good reasons to get a divorce.
It can be very sad and hurtful subject and if anyone shares their experience and story with you,please respect the fact that they trusted you to tell you something so personal and something that may have hurt them deeply.
