Most people who divorce remarry at least once; most people who divorce also divorce again and remarry another time. So as the number of divorces increases, the number of marriages increases (i.e. - the "normal" number of people marrying each year plus the number of remarriages, and re-remarriages - which would not have taken place without a divorce).
If you are asking about the percentage of people who have EVER been married, it has gone lower as the divorce rate has risen, but there is no reason to assume a cause-effect relationship between these factors. Other factors - such as increasing societal "acceptance/acquiesence" of out-of-wedlock births lowers the per capita "first marriage" rate.
Personally, I have been married and I have been divorced. I felt much "higher" when I was married....

Thanks to the high number of older marriages, marriages are actually higher than divorces. Amongst younger couples, divorce is higher. Now amongst all couples, live in relationships rank higher than marriages by a very narrow margin. So more are opting for live in relationships than to face the challenges of married life or avoiding the heartache of divorce

Marriage has to be higher for divorce to get higher.

the amount of people getting married is still higher than the amount getting divorced but divorces have increased over the years. Also, less people choose to get married these days. So it could change soon maybe?
