Cohabitation + Interracial Marriage

A question on Cohabitation: Is Cohabitation the cause of higher divorce rate, or a result of being more common among people more likely to get divorced in the first place?  It's probably very hard to answer because it's impossible to do controlled experiments.

Intuitively I would say both are in effect here. People care about traditional morality would likely think both cohabitation before marriage and divorce immoral, therefore people who do cohabitation before marriage are more likely to take divorce less seriously. On the other hand, the sense of morality may be affected by the action of cohabitation. If the "rule" was broken before, one may feel less guilty to break it again.
