This project collects data from five samples of twins in the United States, Australia, and Sweden. The study uses genetic data and its connection to relationship behaviors, as well as mental and physical health. Finally, the project interviews identical twins about how marriage, romantic relationships, and relationship dissolution may alter the life course.
