I find I had more social relationships in my early 20s before I had a long term girlfriend and we moved to a new area. It's only through conscious effort that we maintain friendships with a few other couples. It would be easy to be lazy and just spend time with my partner. As people have kids perhaps they create new relationships with other couples with kids but they often grow apart from those that don't. Work commitments have varied through the years depending more on the company culture.
