In reality, divorce to be a benefit to both parties, especially if it's an unhealthy, toxic, or abusive relationship. People change, grow apart, even fall out of love, and because of that, divorce can be an opportunity move on.
Thirdly, the show talks about weddings are supposed to be two people confessing their undying love for each other. But really, it's a production to show off how much money you have. People spend thousands of dollars on weddings, a few hour event where most things involved will never be used/worn again. It's an overblown party just to watch two people sign a contract.
