People are having kids later, the couple focuses on raising those kids and not on themselves

This is true.

Also, some people become a totally different person in that time from who they were when they got married. They feel "secure" in their relationship so as to not take pride in their physical looks, health, monetary habits, etc. Eventually one day once the kids are gone, that spouse will have to face the music of who they've become.
