Mismatched education--does it matter?

I have been dating Mr. Wonderful for about a month, and I have known him as a friend for about 7 months. Our values are compatible, and we get along wonderfully. Everyone likes him because he is just so nice to people in general. He treats me and my girls extremely well, and I care deeply for him. He provides well and is a hard worker. He obviously is very skilled in his field. However, one thing that does not seem to be an issue now, I am worried about becoming an issue later--I have a graduate degree while he did not finish college. I am finding in our conversations that I am not really smarter than him, but I know more than he does because of all of my education (does that make sense?). He plays it off well.

I just read this article on eharmony about how a disparity in educational level could be a problem so now I am worried. My ex was brilliant and educated and then went crazy on me so I don't really want that either! Any experiences?
