No one said it "causes" divorce. At least not people who can think nonlinearly.
The statement was made that couples that cohabitate are more likely to not get married and divorce when they do get married.
The wording is extremely important because it conveys a difference between correlation, increased likelihood, and causation. Since correlation is not causation.
