Divorce has a larger affect on people than you probably think. I myself come from a family with divorced parents and I know the affects it can have. When someone decides to get a divorce just because they couldn't stand to be with their spouse anymore is not the smartest decision they could have made. First if this couple has children they will still have to see each other unless there are special circumstances. This means they still don't get to leave this person you thought they never would have to see again. They are stuck with them until the children are fully out of the picture. This could mean forever.
Divorce really hurts the children and friends of the couple. These people will suffer the most. The children are forced to live two lives normally. This means they have to lie to make sure each parent is happy. The friends are forced to choose who they want to stay friends with. This isn't fair. No one should have to make these kind of decisions because a couple couldn't do what they promised to do in the first place. People try to make divorce seem like it's not a big deal, but I know it causes more problems than it fixes.
