That's so difficult to believe.

The marriages that remain are lasting.

I believe it and it makes sense if you think about it. Back in the boomer generation a woman was considered a spinster if she wasn't married by age 24, so people often married the first person they could find. Also, a ton of dudes in the Vietnam era married a random chick just so he could dodge the draft. This all resulted in a ton of divorces once divorce became more socially accepted in the 80's.
Now fewer people marry at all, and they are marrying at older, more mature ages now as well. This results in a lower divorce rate.

More people are becoming educated and waiting later in life to get married. I’d imagine the later in life you get married the better chance you have of staying together. Get married at 18 and sick of that person at 25. My taste in women changed drastically around 25/26 years old.

People stopped getting married entirely. If you accounted for people that had a long term relationship together and had a child or children together splitting up, the rates would be much higher
