"Emotions alter the rewards of commitment problems.
Rage deters transgressors, guilt makes cheating painful, shame punishes, compassion elicits reciprocal compassion and love commits us to a relationship. Complicated emotions, so characteristic of human beings, prevent us deserting mates or forgiving unfair slights. This is in the long run, is to our advantage, for it allows us to keep marriages together in bad times, or warn off potential opportunists.
Our emotions are guarantees of our commitment."

Who knew game theory also can emo.
