Driven Apart

Hi,

Here is a text:

" They were husband and wife, 'uprooted from Oklahama, wandering 1000 miles from home to enter a radically different kind of life, and driven apart by the pressures of long and conflicting hours."

What does the bold word mean?

Here, I think that "driven apart" means that the couple became alienated from each other. That they became estranged even though they were still together, physically.
