I don't know where your figures are from, or if they are accurate.  The only
data point I have is my own marriage of 6+ years and still going strong.

my wife has had long hair ever since we met, and it is still long.  When we
first met it was down to about her bra-strap in back, and now it is below
her belt-line.  we both like long hair alot, even though it is considerably
more trouble than short hair.  we now have a child (11 months), and it is a
little more difficult, because he likes to pull it.  but he pulls my beard
too, and since we both like that i wont be cutting it off just because it
gets pulled. (that == my beard, we == wife+me)

i have noticed that as women age the average length of hair seems to get 
shorter.  this may be due to effort required, or the fact that most 
mature womens hairstyles call for shorter hair or some other reason.  my
mother had long hair, but started slowly shortening it after she reached 40.
now she beyond 50, and it is just collar length.
