I've read that also.
I suspect that it has something to do with ingrained morality--those who believe it is wrong to "live in sin" are also likely to believe that divorce is wrong.
I'd be curious to see numbers that show % happy with their marriage within both groups. I'd be somewhat surprised if those numbers weren't similar.
FWIW, I shacked up for five years before proposing. It'll be 7 years of marriage this summer. And I don't feel I waited too long to propose. We were both in grad school and plenty keeping us busy.
