The article asserts conclusions without demonstrating that alternative conclusions are not equally likely. One example: educated women’s uneducated husbands command higher salaries. Is it that they married someone commanding a higher salary, or did their husband secure a higher salary through their wife’s encouragement, connections, intellect, higher SES (as associated with degree attainment), etc?

And of course the assumption ringing throughout this and quite a lot of marital research that people marry for the sake of being married rather than as a result of mate selection (eg, in suggesting those thirty percent of educated women just don’t have interest in marriage as a whole rather than lacking access to preferable mates).
