I agree with your view. Completely.I was married for twenty years, so I think that gives me a perspective on both sides of the divide. What's good about being divorced? Well, I certainly enjoy my liberty, to do what I want with whom when I want. I'm also answerable to no one. As I'm not looking for an extended relationship at the moment, I enjoy meeting a range of people and having different experiences. However, I can say that the early years of my marriage were wonderful. It's was all about sharing and pleasing the other person. Eventually, of course things became staid and routine. He wanted new things and so did I. We stayed together because of the kids - a familiar story, I'm sure. I really don't believe that many relationships can endure and be fresh after 5-10 years. We're emotionally and physically programmed for multiple sexual relationship. At least that's my view...

I miss the anticipation of the first kiss, the first touch ... the possibilities and the unknown.

Almost a case of 'Snap'!
The circumstances of my split were different but otherwise I couldn't put it differently.
People grow and change over time and, unless a couple grow and change together, the things that brought them together in the beginning will no longer be there. Longer life expectancies can only exacerbate that problem.
Some people, though, whether they have kids or not, cannot take the impact of divorce: the emotional upheaval; having to move house, probably to a smaller place; possibly a reduced income; and loss of mutual friends and their social circle. Plus, a lot of people equate not having a permanent partner with failure. As a result they stick with it. I know several people in that situation - their marriage is defunct, they're effectively just housemates (and ones who often don't get on), and they're having a pretty sad time.
Marriage is about roughage, bills, garbage disposal, and noise. There is something vulgar, almost absurd, in the notion of a Mrs. Plato or a Mme. Descartes, or of Wittgenstein on a honeymoon.
Not having to deal with hubby's shit.
The pleasure of firsts: a first kiss, the first touch, exploring each other for the first time, the first time you realize you want him, and that he wants you, the first time he enters you, that first wave of desire you have for him.
The newness of a relationship can bring such excitement and passion.
