When reading articles like this, I always want to know what are the factors that come into play here that contribute to these differences.
As the article says, when you're not pressured to get married (as is often the case with traditionalist types), you're going to make better decisions when it comes to whether it's worth it to get married or not. Those who decide to get married after some good decision making process indicative of better control of one's "destiny" and of autonomy are naturally going to be less likely to feel they made some mistake by marrying and therefore are less likely to get divorced after a while. And those who decide not to get married won't have to worry about divorce.
Of course, that's just one factor, and multiple factors interacting with one another are often at play when it comes to complex human and social dynamics.
