When people did not shack up, divorce rates were lower.

That's because people were more circumspect about who they married.

And also because there was not this pervasive sense of entitlement that makes people impossible to live with.

I have heard this fact for a while as well. I also figured it had something to do with people’s morality. What I mean by that is that people who think it is morally right to wait to live together until after you get married probably are more likely to have a moral worldview that is against divorce. Does that make sense since I know I can be wordy at times?
