I suggest that the average marriage lasts longer than most jobs.

Average Job: 4.6 Years - https://www.thebalance.com/how-long-should-an-employee-stay-...

Given how much harder it is to leave a marriage than it is to leave a job, I'd think the gap between those two should be much larger.
The two are pretty tightly linked. If you have an underemployed or unemployed couple without a support network, you pretty much have to get divorced to get social services.
