Didn't read it but I don't have to. Everything Brad Wilcox (who's behind this) writes about marriage is the same, and I've debunked it 100 times. This time it's marriage and happiness. In another case he said marriage makes women safer, and I wrote this, which addresses his common bullshit problems:
