I'm not sure marriage changes the odds very much...for 50% of the married folks. I have large extended families with bunches of decades long marriages, and after one spouse dies then what?
BIG difference between being alone, and being lonely IMO....
People change...my longest relationship was almost ten years...SO GLAD that neither of us was interested in marriage however.
Take two to make a relationship work, and it's hard...only takes ONE to end a commitment though....and the odds are stacked against it lasting. We live longer and our modern lives are typically much more dynamic than prior generations IMO...reducing the odds even more.
