What's wrong with people?

So, lately, and in general, I have a lot of awesome female friends who were married and are now divorced. In most of the cases, it's because the guy was either abusive, neglectful, had an addiction to pornography, or a combination of the three. What in the world is wrong with these idiots? And how are they able to fool some of the smartest and most amazing women that I know into marrying them? Maybe they changed, or maybe the seeds were already planted, I have no way of knowing, but I just wanted to say that everybody plays the fool, and my friends shouldn't feel foolish or like it was their fault for getting into this kind of situation. This kind of thing happens to everyone where you get into an unhealthy relationship, it can happen no matter how smart you are, no matter how wise you are, and no matter how good of a person you are. This goes to my guy friends who had to suffer as well, I'm not just bagging on you guys. Seems like a lot of people are getting married to people who don't appreciate what they are worth. Maybe it's because as a church we try and encourage people to get married young so as to avoid sexual immorality. In my mind, I think that rushing into something that should be thoughtfully planned out and ending up in a bad marriage that causes all kinds of psychological and sometimes physical damage to both parties could be worse than letting it slip once or twice (no pun intended). Just a thought. But remember, just like a pair of vintage jeans is prized by clothing collectors (yeah, I went there) for the fading and fraying, so we are more complete and beautiful people for the challenges we have to go through.
