If you’re worried that your partner may be tempted to stray - there’s something that could reduce the odds...

Are you afraid that your partner may be tempted to cheat on you?

You need some oxytocin. A recent study put the natural hormone to the test and its effects were significant. Oxytocin is considered the love hormone and can help deepen emotional bonds. Women produce it naturally during childbirth and breast feeding. Men have it too but their levels are lower.

For the experiment, men in committed relationships were split into two groups. One group was given an oxytocin nasal spray. The other group got the placebo spray. 45 minutes later, the men were asked to stand in front of a beautiful stranger. The men who had taken the love spray stood farther away from the temptress.

While it is available, asking your partner to use a faithfulness spray might be awkward, there are several natural ways to keep that bonding oxytocin flowing naturally:

• Get scared together

• Watch an emotional movie together

• Dance with your partner

• Sing a karaoke duet

• Have sex more often
