Use of the word chemistry

Hi

Would you say that the word chemistry is used naturally here?

The married couple could never develop enough chemistry (between them) and got divorced during the third month of their wedding.

Is between them necessary?

Thanks,

Tom

It seems very strange to me that a wedding ceremony would last more than three months. I don't think that "chemistry" fits very well here.

Thanks, AStar.

Is it better?

The married couple could never develop enough understanding (between them) and got divorced just after three months of their marriage.

Is between them necessary?

Mr. TomThe married couple could never develop enough chemistry (between them) and got divorced during the third month of their wedding.

My version:

The couple never developed enough [compatibility / understanding / rapport / empathy]. They got divorced during the third month of their marriage.
