That may simply be because about half of all US marriages end in divorce anyway. The public breakups simply get more attention. I don't think that's a failure per se. It may just mean the people grew in different directions.
Erin and I had lunch yesterday with Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, a couple that's been writing books and doing relationship seminars for decades. They've done multiple Oprah appearances as well as many other shows together. They've been married for 27 years and seem quite happy together. So there are certainly exceptions, but those exceptions don't sell tabloids as well.
