Of course marriages take work, relationships in general take work. Friendships take work.
That doesn't change the fact that people can and do grow apart. No amount of 'work' is going to change that.
I'll ask you to clarify what exactly you are alluding to when you say "this attitude towards marriage is
why we are where we are right now". Where are we right now? It shouldn't be a 'goal' to get married, and getting divorced shouldn't be considered a 'failure'. There are plenty of people in very long term commitments who aren't married that have happy, fulfilling relationships with each other. Your comment has the underlying tone that married > not married, and that really irks me.
