A new study led by a team of Swiss researchers has concluded that oxytocin may help couples to discuss difficult issues and to resolve conflict with less stress.  Couples who were given oxytocin nasal spray were better able to manage a conflict discussion and with less stress than were couples given merely a placebo.  The researchers hope that oxytocin might soon be used as a supplement to couples undergoing cognitive therapy to solve relationship problems.
