The Science of a Happy Marriage

This article relates to the interpersonal attraction lecture that we had today. They found that men who carried a specific variation in a gene were less likely to be married or more likely to have marital problems if they chose to wed. Similarly, Professor Larsen mentioned in class that men who have a specific type of vasopressin receptor are more likely to form attachments. The studies in the article also suggest that the brain can be trained to resist temptation and prevent infidelity.
