What is misleading is that the OP doesn't mention they were goaded into arguing. A thesis statement including the term "...a single, 15-minute conversation..." with no additional clues except "...Read the article for more info..." is not adequate to even come close to describing what this study is about. 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:

... Recording married couples talking for 15 minutes about a recent conflict that they were having in their relationship...
...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.
