 uple relationships have a substantial impact on individual health and longe
 vity and the stress-buffering mechanisms of social support between partners
  are hypothesized to mediate this effect. Indeed\, relationship enhancement
  training reduced stress hormones during a conflict session in the laborato
 ry\, suggesting that couple interventions can improve health via reduced ps
 ychobiological stress. <span lang="EN-US">On a neurobiological level\, thes
 e effects might be mediated through activity of the neuropeptide oxytocin. 
 Oxytocin has been related to attachment behavior and stress reduction in an
 imals and in humans. In line with this\, previous data from our laboratory 
 indicate that intranasal oxytocin modulates communication behavior and cort
 isol levels during couple conflict. However more recently\, differential ef
 fects of oxytocin with regard to sex\, social context\, and individual rela
 tionship experiences have been proposed and mandate a more refined interpre
 tation of the overall effects of this neuropeptide.</span></p><hr /><p>Annu
