No. There's a correlation/causation problem to this argument. Are two-career marriages unstable because of something inherent about marrying someone else with a career, or is it that there is some other correlative factor? Noer's response to those studies (which he doesn't provide detailed citations for; only the names of journals) is about as reasonable as giving children foot-growing medicine to help their math skills. I don't buy for a minute Noer's analysis that two working spouses produce a marriage of lower "value" (which is ill-defined in this context anyway). Missing is any kind of discussion of heterosexual marriages where the man stays at home, or of homosexual marriages of any kind. His analysis is limited enough in scope that trying to draw the kind of broad conclusions that he does is ridiculous at best.
