What’s the psychology behind couples looking alike after they’ve being together for some time?
There are many reason why couples eventually starting to look like each other, a major one is sharing experiences with your partner. Throughout their life together, a couple experiences a great deal of happy and sad moments. Everything they go through together as a couple affects their body language and emotional state. Their history is written on their faces: even a couple’s wrinkles form in the same places. Couples who are in tune with each other often mirror each other’s habits and body language. It shows that there’s emotional comfort and trust in their relationship.
I believe science has a lot to explain why nature does that to us. Most times when we spend a lot of time with someone, we begin to see ourselves in their eyes. And when that happens a lot, you’ll find out that our brain which is so magnificent begins to adjust our mentality making us and others who see couples a lot together start feeling they are now looking alike. Funny enough, my dad told me this sometime ago though in a different direction. He said if a woman who is pregnant wants her child to look like anyone she fancies, she should steadily (like every moment) be looking at that person’s most cherished photo or be around that person at all times at least within 2–8 months of the gestation period.
