Basically if there coming apart they are either the wrong plugs for the engine or-

Insufficient spark plug tightening or failure to fit gasket
Over-advanced ignition timing
Too lean fuel mixture
Excessive deposits accumulated in combustion chamber
Insufficient cooling
Too low octane gasoline
Too hot a spark plug fitted.

Id start with the first couple, check your timing. See if the chain has jumped a tooth or something and check your fuel consumption.

List taken from here for future reference -
