LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Wedding vows are supposed to mean you stay married forever, but a study shows for some men it just may not be possible. Apparently, the more we learn about DNA the more researchers are finding evidence that some men are born with a so-called cheating heart.
"There's a gene that's been shown, that if men have this particular gene or a variant of the gene, they have more trouble in relationships," said Brenda Wade, Ph.D., a marriage and relationship expert.
Dr. Brenda wade has written three books on marriage and relationships. She says a Swedish study followed more than a 1,000 twins finding that there is a bonding chemical in some men, which makes them less likely to stay married and more likely to end up in bad relationships. However, as a psychologist, she says the good news whether you have that gene variant or not, the brain can be trained to resist temptation.
