1. I also think co-mingling of blood during intercou[/b]rse;- No I dont think so, No mingling of blood occurs during intercouse at all.
[b]2. Sharing similar thoughts and ideology;
                      Yes, but difficult to prove. Perhaps copying each others movements , facial expressions and other phsical activities.

3. Putting-on similar cloths (and co); Really ? I dont wear make up and have no extensions and other jewellry.

4. Eating same kind of food;   Yes , and of course you are what you eat!

5[b]. Living under same socio-economic condition[/b].  Yes; Very much so - both husband and wife in Somalia are likely to be hungry now and our thoughts are with them.

Another point is that like attrack like - so some resemblance may be there even before marriage.

claremont:

Which research concluded that couples look alike after years of marriage? There are times when I wonder how the average NLander thinks, and everyone on here is just rushing to contribute without even asking for the validity of the so-called research. Someone thinks of an absolute drivel, pastes it on here claiming to be a research, and no one bothers to ask any questions? Na wa for Nairalanders oh! SMH

Dont mind these dudes around here, they are all comic. Imagine the guy proving that contortion of faces when couples kiss makes them look alike I was laffing and rolling on the floor.

This is simple common sense, it's a psychological thing. If u see two people together everyday, you tend to want to think that they look alike even if they do not look any alike in reality. I remember when I was in secondary school, the Principal and the VP were always standing side by side in front all the student during the assembly. Because I see them pair up everyday, I felt they looked alike but even then I understood that I was just mixing them up because I see them together all the time.

.[b], Contortion of faces while kissing. hahahahahahahaha, does he mean like this? tongue or like this and this undecided shocked wink

ITS AN HYPOTHESIS. FAR FROM THE FACT. MAYBE THEY ALWAYS LOOK A LIKE IN THE EYES OF THOSE THAT SEE THEM EVERYDAY OR THE MENTAL PICTURES OF THOSE THAT ABHOR SUCH BELIEFS IS PROGRAMME TO SEE THAT WAY. BUT IN 10 COUPLES ONLY HALF I PRESUME.

commingling shocked shocked

SO A  WOMAN OF 4FT WILL THEN GROW TO THE HUSBAND HEIGHT OF 6FT, OR THE COMPLEXION WILL CHANGE FROM BLACK TO ALBINOJUST BECAUSE THE WIFE IA AN ALBINO OR AN OBLONG FACE WILL START RESHAPING TO A ROUND FACE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.

PLEASE WE NEED PICTURES TO COMFIRMENTO THIS ALLEGATION AGAINST HUMANITY AGAINST HUMANITY.

Re: Why Do Couples Look Alike After Years Of Marriage? by CuteTj(m): 10:01am On Aug 24, 2011
I laugh at the reasons being given by you all. Kissing by couples, mingling of blood(whatever that means) e.t.c as reasons for couples looking alike after years of marriage is so false! As for me, i would say you cant escape aging as years roll by, aging is the same process in everyone e.g the tissues in your face and whole body breaks down so therefore there is a tendency you look alike. My parents have been married for 40 years and till they will pass on, they will never look alike!

buzugee:

this only applies to western couples who kiss a lot. for example you will see that heidi klum is starting to look like seal. see when you kiss someone playfully and passionately, you try to both contort your mouth and face so that it is symmetrical with each other. now imagine a loving couple that does this lots of time ? after a while (say about 3 years of this type of similar facial muscle exercise that kissing induces) your facial features start to take on each others shapes. the facial muscle is like say the biceps which contorts and transforms if you use it all the time as in weightlifting. it changes to suit whatever activity you are doing. so basaically all am saying is that if a couple starts to look like each other during marriage, thats the giveaway that they are a loving couple who indulge in lots of passionate kisses. not usually the case for nigerians so nigerians never look like each other even after 50 years of marriage.  grin

[size=15pt]YES! After many scientist made a long-year-research, they found the couple shape is depend on couples living together, all the hobby, food, water, living-style , are same. If husband is cubic-face,  wife is circle-face,  a few years later, both of them should become not cubic, not circle.[/size]

Re: Why Do Couples Look Alike After Years Of Marriage? by queensmith: 10:16am On Aug 24, 2011
this is soo true- its the same with children, one minute they look like one parent the next they look like another.
even adopted children atimes look like the foster parents.

Its probably because our environment plays a major role in the way we look. rather than genes?
Re: Why Do Couples Look Alike After Years Of Marriage? by firestar(f): 10:19am On Aug 24, 2011
Maybe at some point they absorb each others mannerisms, its expected afterall they are married.
But aren't children supposed to take after their parents rather than spouses of each other?

I guess, they both take the cubic face 'cause the man has a cubic face since he is the husband, abi? If the husband has gap tooth the wife too will have gaptooth? if the husband has a pen[i]i[/i]s the woman's cli[i]to[/i]ris will start to expand and look like a penis?

A couple of my friends had been said to look like me. So maybe I'm the dominant chromosomes in the look alike business. grin  I know the quantum physicist will have a better explanation.
