Couples living together will gradually develop more and more similar facial features over time. Why do couples become more and more alike together? Let's take a look at the research of psychologists first.
Researchers showed 110 study participants photos of married men and women in their first year of marriage and 25 years after marriage, asking them to evaluate the similarity between the men and women in the photos and speculate on the possibility of the men and women getting married in the photos. Researchers ensured that study participants could only make judgments based on facial feature recognition by cropping photos and using a series of methods to exclude external influencing factors. The selection results of study participants showed that men and women who were married 25 years later were more similar.
Of course, this research result does not necessarily assume that as people age, they will all grow into the same appearance. The data from the control group indicates that the study participants made judgments not based on other criteria but on facial features. What are the factors that affect the 'longer and more alike' relationship between couples?
The Choice Tendency Problem in Matchmaking
My husband and I have been married for two years. When my husband and I first fell in love, many friends saw our group photo and said we were like each other. In fact, this is also a question of mate selection tendency. When choosing their partner, everyone is more likely to choose to be with people who are similar to themselves. Gradually, when two people live together for a long time, there will be more similarities, which is one of the reasons why people often say that couples "get more similar as they grow Couples with the same interests and interests are more likely to have harmonious emotions
Same lifestyle habits
In married life, if you and the other party share the same dietary habits, such as both enjoying high fat foods or spicy foods, over time, they will become "more and more similar" to each other.
Empathic effect
Research has shown that empathy is also one of the reasons why couples become more similar as they grow older. For example, empathy allows two people to imitate each other's facial expressions or speech styles, without feeling like they are imitating each other. Over the long term, it can make couples more and more alike.
The above are several reasons why couples become more like each other as they grow older, as explained by experts. If you don't take the right seat, do you and your partner have a strong sense of "husband and wife"?
