There is a blog post today on the New York Times Health blog about the "Science of a Happy Marriage," and the so-called fidelity gene.
This is a very thought provoking article and there are things that I agree with and other things which I do not. For one thing, I never want to give men an excuse for infidelity, so we need to remember that. I am not arguing that the gene does not exist, I am simply saying that men need to take responsibility for their wrong actions, genetics or not.
One thing I like was the study mentioned about how you can overcome the gene and train yourself to resist temptations. God gave us commandments and gave us choice. I believe we can be genetically susceptible to certain temptations, but we need to choose to ignore those temptations. We have control over ALL of our choices, our genes don't make our decisions.
