Successful marriages are due genetic predisposition
Researchers at Yale discovered a gene that holds the secret to a happy marriage. A gene known as the GG
genotype, is known to cause greater expression of empathy, sociability, and emotional stability, and acts
in a receptor for oxytocin, the “love hormone”. Of course having these qualities would benefit any sort of
relationship, however, the GG genotype was found more frequently in people that reported happy and
healthy relationships.
Of course, long term bonds and relationships still require physical attraction, shared interests and values,
and obviously more research needs to be completed to see how accurate the information and effect of the
gene really is. It’s crazy how many things can be “contributed” to having a certain genotype.
