U.S. researchers tested the theory that husbands and wives will eventually become similar to each other in appearance. Experts were convinced: this phenomenon does exist, sometimes the resemblance of the spouses is so great that they are easily mistaken for brothers and sisters.

The experts are pictures of spouses living together 25 years or more. Then these images were compared with those future couples to make marriage and early marriage. A simple analysis of the photos confirmed that in most cases, husbands and wives over the years of marriage really become almost a copy of each other.

In all cases, the resemblance of the spouses a clear trend: the happier life together took a couple, the more evident and impressive was the similarity between husband and wife.
According to psychologists at Yale University, the husband and wife often copy each other without noticing. This is especially felt on the bad habits of the people. If, for example, the wife quit smoking or drinking, then the probability that the husband also refuses alcohol and cigarettes increased by 5 times. The same mechanism applies to physical activity, with visits to doctors.

Experts believe that men and women tend to initially select companions of life of those who are with them any common external features. Therefore, the more wives similarity, the more likely that their marriage is going well. And vice versa - a happy marriage makes the husband and wife over the years, more and more similar to each other. Close people are beginning to copy the facial expressions, habits, habits, and facial expression to each other, and the longer a family is, the less it is consciously copying.
