  Isn't this (heavily?) influenced by a small amount of people who marry again and again?

    Kind of. The median is apparently 19. Still, if a lifelong marriage is winning at life, we're a society of losers.

      That's a big "if" imho. Especially, since there are more than enough instances of unhappy marriages in previous generations. Often people stayed in abusive relationships because divorce was heavily frowned upon.
