50% of Marriages End in Divorce...Why do Humans Bother?

Sex is a necessity for all animals. Every human has a driving need to copulate. Part of it, of course, is because of the intense pleasure it brings. Part of it may be the need to feel connected to another human being. Most of it, however, is the innate need mate.

Sexual intercourse in its purest form is about populating the planet. However, humans are developed enough to assign other values to it, like the ones mentioned above. Because of this, the natural order of evolution is disturbed. Instead of having intercourse with as many people as possible and producing as many children as possible, people tend to commit to one individual. Many never have children at all.

Obviously, the need to commit is strong enough to overrule our need to procreate. Therefore, my question to all of you is, What is it that drives us towards such a life? Why do we not go with our natural instincts?
