I think that the causes/timings of the marriages are the same or similar, based on observations from my own social circles.

Yeah. My social circle spans multiple generations, and all found each other long after the normal friend-gathering-periods of high school and college.

So there are people with 20 year marriages, 10 year poly relationships, dating, 2-year marriages, and couples with kids and no kids. It really is a cross-section.

If you social circle was largely developed in the high school/college phase of life, I'd expect people to go through life changes and cycles at largely similar times.

My friend group is from a more diverse age range, and background. So it is less expected to see these patterns form so rigidly.
