Abstract
Couples reported importance of and desire for sensory modalities, satisfaction, love, and commitment. While desire for touch and importance of bodily sensations predicted passionate love for both men and women, men’s satisfaction, commitment, and love were driven by touch, sight, and bodily sensations, whereas women’s feelings were predicted by hearing.
