This seems to be an emotive issue, but I'd want to point out that you haven't refuted the article at all.

The article references several studies that show, statistically speaking, that two-career marriages are harder than "traditional(?)" marriages. Responding with anecdotal evidence and feelings doesn't invalidate the original argument.

It's easy to accepts studies when they confirm our own world-views. Disregarding studies that go against personal philosophy (based on gut-feel) is just confirmation bias.

Why not go with it? Studies show two-career marriages are harder. So if you both are working just factor in that you may have to work just a little bit harder on your relationship - which is not such a bad thing anyway.
