What makes you committed!
I recently read an excellent study that was examining why people stay committed better then others. This study examined why people can encounter others who are good looking, smile at them, even talk to them, but not cheat on their spouse. According to this this research, it has to do with cognitive control. These researchers think that some individuals are better than others at controlling those innate feelings of attractions. Those who are better at controlling those feelings, and understand that they are in a long term committed relationship, are less likely to cheat. Not exactly a novel idea, kind of obvious, but scientific data always helps. Maybe tiger woods needed this.
