It would make more sense to plot marriages per 1000 single people and divorces per 1000 married people.

I grew up in the 70’s and people living together was pretty scandalous. I recall my old Swede immigrant relatives being shocked at the cohabitation in the old country. By the time I graduated from High School in the 80’s, it was expected.
