Divorce rate is per marriages - "how many divorces per 1000 married women". Here is graph and article from sociologist https://timeline.com/divorce-rates-going-down-d85477f83055

Mostly, attitude toward marriage changed. People care more about selection of partner. They marry later and when they are able to form stable couple - finish college and find jobs. Poor people marry less, but form couples that live together and don't marry.

People are less likely to marry due to social pressure etc.
