Have you noticed that couples who live together for a long time tend to look alike? My grandparents really looked alike when i grew up to know them.My parents seem to be looking more alike with time.

Is it just a coincidence?     Is this true for a majority of couples?     Or you think i need to see an optician?

You know thats so true. I've noticed the same thing too and I've always wondered why it is that way. Maybe years of being together has knit spirit, soul and even body together

It's not coincidence, i guess it's the trueness of two flesh becoming one. Most old couples do look like, e.g. each time i look at the pics of Pastor Adeboye and his wife, it's like they're related cousins or a brother & sister relationship. They so much look alike. It's lovely! It's the work of God, ma brother. ₁₊₁₌₁

though, it isn't true for all couples, but the ones that look alike are fascinating.

according to d yoruba adage "te'we ba pe lara oshe, im moo do'she ni" simply means "d longer d leaf stays on d soap, d grter d chance of becomig soap itself"
get d gist

It's natural. You know they've been married for so long, and the blood that moves in the system of the man is the same blood that moves in the woman due to constant sexual intercourse. So with time, you would begin to notice that they look alike.

I agree with everyone's opinion.

I also think that the children also bring out the resemblance in the parents, cos you can see the parents through the children.

it's because they've been copying each other's facial expressions for years and lines have formed as a result.
In psychology it's called 'mirroring.' They mirror each other's expressions subconsciously to create a sense of intimacy

@LadyGodiva, u seem to make genuine point. however, I am just getting to know this sha
