Sorry to be a stickler, and yes, like a curious intellectual I did go read the article, and I don't disagree with the article, but the OP is misleading to the maximum possible extent.

Without the qualifier: ...this reads like a cross between Cosmopolitan's 'ten ways to please your man' and a suicide note written by Nostradamus on a coke binge.

This study or whatever was the subject of a video or 60 minutes type news piece at least a year ago. It's old stuff. You can even see video of the couples 'talking' and interviews of the guy who predicts outcomes. I believe he's even training people to do this type of thing, to what end, I don't recall. An army of felicity, perhaps?
