There's a fun sample bias story here too. Some years ago loads of my friends were cohabiting - like the vast majority who had a steady partner, and I was skeptical of the low official figures for this arrangement and then persistently high marriage figures. But now the couples who are still together are almost all married or civil partnered.

My hunch is therefore that people tend to cohabit and then get married if it's working out, and long term cohabitation is not common.
