A growing body of research supports an important role for genetic factors on intimate, romantic relationships. In this article, we review research that has examined the interplay between genetic and environmental influences on romantic relationships and the associations between relationship outcomes and important individual differences related to relationships. We first elaborate on how behavioral genetic and molecular genetic methods can be used to understand the etiology of relationship outcomes. We then review empirical studies that have examined gene-environment correlations and gene-by-environment interactions in predicting romantic relationship outcomes (e.g., relationship formation, relationship quality and functioning, relationship dissolution) and their association with the physical health, mental health, and well-being of relationship partners.
越来越多的研究支持遗传因素在亲密浪漫关系中发挥重要作用。在本文中，我们回顾了相关研究，这些研究探讨了遗传和环境影响在浪漫关系中的相互作用，以及关系结果与关系中重要个体差异之间的关联。我们首先详细阐述行为遗传学和分子遗传学方法如何用于理解关系结果的病因。然后，我们回顾实证研究，这些研究考察了基因-环境相关性和基因-环境相互作用在预测浪漫关系结果（如关系形成、关系质量和功能、关系解体）及其与关系伴侣的身体健康、心理健康和幸福感之间的关联。
