“…Although our understanding of the functional significance of the rs3796863 SNP in humans remains incomplete, research in rodent models indicates that CD38 influences the synthesis and secretion of oxytocin 17 . Our finding that rs3796863 predicted relationship satisfaction over the course of the newlywed period resonates with other work showing that peripheral oxytocin levels were associated with relationship survival during the perinatal transition period 32 , and facilitated relationship survival in dating couples 31 . We have more to learn about the precise mechanisms by which this polymorphism influences relationship processes.…”

“…For example, oxytocin, measured in blood plasma, predicted frequency of physical contact 17 and perceived support 18 in romantic couples. Plasma and/or salivary oxytocin also predicted relationship quality in married couples 19 , as well as relationship survival in dating couples 20 and parents going through the perinatal transition 21 . Other work suggests that peripheral oxytocin is related to specific behaviors that promote relationship well-being—for example, oxytocin levels were linked to acceptance and self-disclosure during a social support task in couples 22 , and feeling more understood and loved by a romantic partner when expressing and receiving gratitude 23 .…”

“…We did not include rs6449182 in our examination due to restricted variability (only one participant was found to be homozygous for the G allele). Our primary hypotheses concerned communal behaviour and global relationship adjustment, given the aforementioned research linking oxytocin with communal behavior 25 , and overall relationship quality 19 , 21 24 . Specifically, we hypothesized that individuals homozygous for the C allele (vs. individuals who were carriers of the A allele) would report higher levels of communal behavior during their daily interactions with their romantic partner, and higher levels of relationship adjustment.…”
