I've seen a couple PBS specials on monogamy that talks about this type of research. I find it fascinating.
How the 'love hormone' works its magic - Men Sex - MSN Healthy Living
Basically, having lots of sexual intimacy with your partner stimulates the hormone response necessary for long-term pair bonding and monogamy. Touching, hugging, looking into each other's eyes can work too (but having sex is way more fun!) Just more proof that married couples with intimacy issues are probably a lot more likely to be headed for divorce court sooner rather than later.
Interesting study.
