There sure is a lot of reference to the bond in PoD. The Asha'man who have bonded there wives. Rand saying Alanna's presence was a comfort. Logaine bonding Toveine. There is some suggestion that Alanna is showing sign's of madness possibly caused by the Taint through the bond with Rand. I would like to see the future affects of the bond on Toveine. The asha'man wives would also be an interesting thing to examine if RJ ever goes there. I however think that something major is going to happen with Saidin, my proof Beldiene is going to bond an Asha'man as a warder. Remember when Sorilea brought the prisoner Aes sedai to Rand for him to decide there fate. Min had a viewing in reference to her (page 560 PoD) light she was going to bond an Asha'man as a Warder! Now why would an Aes Sedai bond a man who could channel(Alanna aside of course)quite possibly the taint will be gone via the seals being destoyed. Lately Rand has had a lot of thoughts about how to remove the taint and I think he will destroy the seals in the next book. Some finall thoughts: why would an Asha'man let an Aes Sedai bond him? Will Cadsuane teach harmony between Asha'man and Aes Sedai? Will the destuction of the seals speed Tarmon Gaidon? This is my first theory rip and cut at will.
