It's your contemporaries staying (legally) married that are changing the rates.

people just shacking up has to help too. when they split it doesn't count

They don't affect the rate, though you could argue they're helping by not hurting.

In a time before it was more acceptable they would have gotten married instead and then divorced so it would still have an impact.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I've done pretty well at cutting carbs during the week.  Drinking beer on the weekend cancels that out, though.

You have to make sure to eat liver to avoid scurvy on an all-meat diet, but it can be done (the Inuit did it forever, for example).
