Well, I'm not so sure sociology is insightful currently about that aspect of wedding - I don't know if there's an actual sociology of divorce.

Rather, the idea is that we socialise very strongly among our own social class, and most weddings are among similar or close by on the social ladder - despite claims, and conscious feelings, that encounters are random.

Now, there is something to look for in the way men and women are socialised towards different ideals of marriage - which could lead to their break up. And how mores of personal accomplishment mean that an unhappy marriage has to be broken, yet social pressures towards marriage are still quite intense...

That's ok - I take full credit for the divorces.
