From the page-24 insert of the March '96 TV Guide:
"'We are not becoming _Melrose Place_,' says executive producer
 Ira Steven Behr, 'but after hitting so long on war and death,
 love and sex just had to enter the equation.'" - speaking on the
 recent spate of love stories on DS9.
 Course, that doesn't address Voyager - but then, it's been a
 long-established notion that on a 70+ year-long journey, people
 are going to start pairing off....
