I'm also concerned by the contradictory nature of this research
Sex increases the risk, but apparently "happy marriage" decreases the risk.

Like the two are mutually exclusive.

True, I'm unmarried
But my point is that a happy marriage - which decreases your stroke risk - would probably include a healthy sex life - which, according to this latest study, increases your stroke risk.

It seems a little self-contradictory, if there is any truth in my assumption.

Have you spoken to many married couples?

Yes, I've just never asked about their sex lives.
(Partly because, around the time they got married, I wasn't getting any myself, so it would have been a difficult subject to broach without making them worry that I might be about to suggest a threesome.)

Pffft.
Nah I think you're right above, although the classical view of married couples is a once-a-month ugly-bump I reckon there's a good chance it can be better than that.
