i don't usually post on subjects like this. heck, i don't think i ever have, but my brother was telling me about something james dobson was talking about on the radio the other day that the chemical, oxytocin, is the chemical that bonds two people together. my brother was telling me that it is basically scientifically proven that two people should wait to be married to have sex, to strengthen their bond and unity as partners. i found this article (talking about a sunday school study), and i don't think it's the same thing michael was telling me about, but it's the same information. here is an excerpt...

...a great deal of time is spent discussing the media and its influence on us. We discuss the brain and the bonding chemical it releases called oxytocin. When used in the right context, oxytocin bonds a husband and wife and builds unity. When used in the wrong context, oxytocin is released with multiple partners, resulting in the weakening of that bonding mechanism. This is one reason that our over-sexualized society has a hard time with commitment. Too many bonds have been made and ultimately broken.

it makes you think, doesn't it?
