Hi Nairalanders, I notice that couples begin to look alike after some years of being together. I used to be indifferent about it until my sister who got married 5 years ago began to look like her husband...

What could be the biological explanation for the facial resemblance??

I'm just curious, it's nothing serious

They don't... Just our brain getting used to seeing them together and associating them with each other! It's all psychological man.

Usually because their children combine some of their features. They are now assumed to resemble.

Old wives tales says it's because they exchange bodily fluids like semen etc. Rubbish !

Religious folks will say that when you have sex with someone you form a soul tie. Bollocks !

I have seen very beautiful , handsome women and men married to not good looking partners. I am still waiting for when they will start looking alike.

bro Righteousness89 has summarised it.
let me elaborate:
exchange of fluid rubbish.... prostitutes should then look like who?

only God has the answers.. the wise king Solomon of Israel said and I quote: the ways of a man and a maiden I cannot understand

I may not know why so but I knew this thing long time ago when I was very young.
A lot of parents looked alike except mine.

Excessive exchange of Vaginal and sperminal fluids..

I thought I was the only one in that boat, man.

Glad to know I wasn't just thinking things.

Not just married people alone, even boy friend and girl friend that av dated for long will start looking like each other..

The two shall become one flesh.

I don't believe that shit. It is impossible that me and my wife will look alike.

Help people stay informed by pushing this to FP!!! Seun

Exchange of DNA

There are some things that no matter how you try to explain or find out about, you just seem not to get the right answer. This is an example!

I don't know why people believe this.

THAT IS A MYTH, JUST AN ILLUSION OR THINGS OF THE MIND.

True, we humans are like sponges, we soak up stuff.
When you admire someone, you end up copying mannerisms that you like subconsciously.
So, you'll see couples that smile the same way, squint the same way, etc.
Though you'll still notice the essential differences if you look closely.

This isn't correct at all. Oshiomole didn't look like her wife and even the trophy wife na?

Atiku isn't looking like her wife (which one the wives self).

It is all nonsense.

Maybe in the olden days, not dez present day. Every1 to der faces tho...
