Why do married folk begin to look like one another?
Watch any two people who like each other talking, and you will see a lot of mirroring.
One smiles, and so does the other. One nods or raises her eyebrow, and so does the other. Faces are like melodies with a natural urge to stay in sync. Multiply those movements by several decades of marriage, all those years of simultaneous sagging and drooping, and it’s no wonder!
Refute my biased acclaim that once a couple has been always together, each has copied the mannerism of his/her partner and the couple sometimes loses each own identity because each becomes absorbed of the partner’s traits. Thus, for decades of being together being identical in terms of physical aura, traits, preferences, etc., becomes possible.
