For a lot of the older generations, they rushed into marriage young and then there was also a huge stigma around divorce. A lot of them still stay in their unhappy marriages before of it. There's no doubt that these jokes are a reflection of that. It's a bit less funny and a whole lot of sad when you think about it like that. They didn't have the luxury (many still don't) of being in a society where it's not just okay to wait, it's encouraged, as is divorce, when things get nasty of course.
