Why do many couples alike?

According to folk beliefs, couples who live together will have generals who have similarities on their faces. So is the minister real or not, and why do couples have a minister?

Your wife

Many times we still hear our grandparents say: these two children have similar traits, so they have a wife, who will definitely be married. The general was conceived that he had a predestined relationship with each other or that certain influences caused them to surely marry later.

Couples love each other often the same

When two people love each other for a long time, almost everyone feels they have very similar traits. This is explained by the fact that they are together a lot, laughing, crying, experiencing many similar emotions, so the facial muscles are also partly changed.

In addition, two people often post pictures and go together when someone encounters a person who will associate and visualize the other person. Maybe that is the reason why people feel that long lovers have the same characteristics.

Explained

Livescience said, psychologist Robert Zajonc of the University of Michigan in the United States analyzed photographs of couples when they were newly married and 25 years later. The results show that many older couples look more similar in appearance than when they were newly married. The higher the level of happiness in family life, the more likely the likelihood of appearance will increase over time.

Zajonc said that older couples are becoming more and more similar because they mimic each other's expressions and moods. In other words, if someone's partner has a talent for telling funny and funny things, he or she will gradually become funny and laugh.

A 2006 study by the University of Liverpool in England demonstrated that men and women are more likely to be attracted to their opposite sexes. Scientists asked volunteers to view personal photos (of both men and women) and then predict the personality of the person in the picture.

Volunteers do not know that many men and women in the photos have a couple relationship. But when the expert team asked them to choose the pairs of men and women with the most similar looks, most volunteers chose the right old couple.

Scientists think that, according to our instinct, we are often more likely to be sympathetic to those who have the same DNA as ourselves. In a study of twins, a team of experts from the University of Western Ontario, Canada found that twins' spouses tend to own identical genomes. In addition, the partners of twins also have a higher level of similarity than their partners of non-twin couples.

Next to nutrition is also considered a cause. Of course the fat or thin depends on the eating and drinking as each person. However, for example, if a couple's meal has a lot of fat, after a long time their face or physique may become stout.

The environment can also be considered as a reason. Couples living in the same home or couple love each other in the same weather and climate conditions, the movements from the outside to the skin like sunshine, rain, temperature, humidity are the same. At that time they had similar traits about skin and many other points.
