yes.
"Divorce rate" implies it's the rate of failed marriages to existing marriages. Instead it is the rate of new divorces to new marriages:

Which is down from the peak and is an obvious inverse of the marriage rate:

which is at an all-time low. The only thing this 94% statistic represents is the decrease in marriages.
