There was a statistic years ago that couples who don't live together before marriage were more likely to stay together. The pretty obvious factor that gets missed is it's religious people for whom it's tougher to get out of a marriage (so I suppose it's stronger). I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing, choice causes all sorts of problems, even if it gives more agency. But the causality is wrong.
