The essay Defending Against the Indefensible contains several different ideas all of which, I do not think the writer intended. And though I agree with most of the observations made in the essay I would like to discuss two points, which, presumably, were unintended by the author.

This section presents a review of previous studies that have examined relationship satisfaction and its predictors in an attempt to construct the foundation for an investigation of how age gap or age difference impacts the level of relationship satisfaction.
