Honestly, I think it is a combination of two things. First off, some people just want to get married. And so if the person asks, they jump on it...whether he/she is the right one or not. The second thing is that they don't work at it. Marriage takes work...some people just have problems that they don't work out and then they build up and they say it's cause of irreconciable differences. But really, you just have to talk and work problems out not just yell. I think most people have that divorce word in the back of their head as an easy way out of the problems, it's a scapegoat of sorts. If people didn't really believe in/like divorce then they may be more inclined to work their problems out.
Just my two cents!

selfishness-
it is easy, when you are all googly eyed and want to impress a person to put their needs and wants first- you get married and life changes- you grow up, and your needs and wants change as well as your partners. Some people weather it out- they make sacrifices and continue to honor the other person above themselves and when both parties are doing this AND taking care of their role in the relationship they will do well. Unfortunately we are living in an immediate gratification, "I want" world and too many refuse to sacrifice anything and often it is too easy to take the other person for granted- one or both parties are too prideful to admit they are wrong and each person wants to do their own thing without respect or regard for the other. We also live in a throw away society- where once it was worth it to make it work, now somebody can get married and divorced four times and not recognize that the common factor is themselves- if this marriage does not suit my needs forr the moment or I feel one second of unhappiness or dicomfort- rather than face it and work through it because I committed to it, I will throw it away and run on to the next good feeling- that is the attitude of people today and that is why marriage no longer has the value and endurance that it once had.

Infidelity without a doubt causes the most damage to a marriage because it exposes the lies and deceit involved.

Mostly just irreconsilable differences. Basically not being able to work through problems or get along.
