If you're going with the "married, divorced..." etc. set of choices, I don't think "single" should be in there - rather it should be just "never married". Otherwise people who are in a relationship but not married or cohabiting will be unable to answer anything.
I agree. I erred on the side of industry standard, but I endorse your change.
However, that now seems like it's asking too many questions in one, since the cohabitation question is irrelevant to whether one is divorced etc.
