Have you noticed or are you wondering why couples who initially had no particular facial resemblance to each other when they first married now resemble each other after many years of marriage?

It seems weird for people to look for those who resemble them when they want to choose partners. However, over time, what seems weird becomes an easy-to-get. It’s strange though, a study has proved, with evidence, that it happens. So, if you stay with your spouse for a couple of decades, you will end up looking more like him or her. But why is it so?

The study published in the journal of Motivation and Emotion found that physical likeness between couples increases over time, and through the years, couples’ wrinkles form in the same places because of a lifetime of shared emotions.

Sometimes, it is even tempting to think the semblance has been there before they married, but the study has shown that the emotions people experience everyday could change their facial features over time. The increase in facial similarity results from decades of shared emotions, hence, couples who have been married for about 25 years start to look alike gradually.

In the study carried out by Robert Zajonc, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, with his graduate students Pamela Adelmann, Sheila Murphy and Paula Niedenthal, 110 participants were presented a random array of photographs of faces, with the backgrounds blacked out so that only the faces could be seen, with an instruction to match the men with the women who resembled most.

Two dozens of the photographs were of couples when they first got married; another two dozens were of the same couples 25 years after marriage, most taken around the time of their silver wedding anniversary. All the couples in the photographs were white, lived in Michigan or Wisconsin and were between 50 and 60 years old at the time of the second picture.

The results showed that the couples had grown to look more like each other over time and the researchers ensured that the participants indeed made judgements on the basis of facial features rather than any other criteria, and to the researchers’ satisfaction, the participants, were able to tell who was married to whom after 25 years with enough precision that it exceeded chance or guessing.

“When couples spend a lot of time together they develop empathy and start to experience the same emotions together, most of the time, such as stress, anxiety, sadness and even happiness. Since these emotions affect their face features, they start to look alike after years of being together,” Zajonc said.

It was also revealed that the more marital happiness that the couple said they had, the more likely they were to have increased in their physical similarity.

The young couples showed only a chance similarity to each other, the study found, while the judges found a definite resemblance between the couples who had been married a quarter-century. While the resemblances were not dramatic, some seemed to involve subtle shifts in facial wrinkles and other facial contours, clear enough that the judges were able to match husbands and wives when the couples were older than when they were newly married, and the resemblances were greater in some couples than in others, the study found.

In support, he points to the finding in his study that those couples who were found to resemble each other most greatly after 25 years were also those who reported the happiest marriages. Zajonc contends that this mimicry is sustained in married couples because experiencing the same emotional state is reinforced by its effects in strengthening feelings of closeness.

Factors considered in assessing what could make two people who are not related come to look like one another included similar diet, similar environment and disposition, but the researchers settled on empathy, considering that couples composed of people who feel for one another would be more inclined to mimic one another’s facial expressions, which tend to leave evidence of their presence over time.

A man was killed when a charging e-cigarette
exploded and ignited oxygen equipment he is
believed to have been using, Merseyside’s fire
service said.
The 62-year-old victim was found in the living room
of a house in Penkett Road, Wallasey.
A small fire in the bedroom of the property had
gone out before firefighters arrived, Merseyside Fire
and Rescue Service said.
The exact cause of death is yet to be established,
with an inquest now due.
An MFRS spokesman said: “The subsequent fire
investigation identified that an e-cigarette that had
been charging in the bedroom exploded, caught fire
and ignited the oxygen tube of an oxygen
concentrator, which may have been in use by the
occupier.”
Myles Platt, MFRS area manager said: “The
investigation into the cause of this fire is continuing
but at this stage it is thought that the charging
device being used at the time may not have been
the one supplied with the e-cigarette.
“We urge people to always use electrical equipment
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
and guidance, always ensure that no electrical
items are left charging overnight or left unattended
for a long period when being charged, and do not
mix parts from different e-cigarettes.
“Only use the original charger or electrical cables
supplied and ensure you purchase electrical items
from a reputable source.”
Since January, nine fires involving e-cigarettes
have been recorded on Merseyside.
Service representatives are speaking to people in
the Wallasey area to give advice about the safe use
of e-cigarettes following Tuesday’s fire

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday admitted that the
activities of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, have
curtailed his movement and prevented him from going to
wherever he loves.
The President hurriedly returned to the country on
Thursday evening from Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, because
of the bomb blast at Emab Plaza in Abuja.
The blast at Emab Plaza in Abuja, occurred on Wednesday
shortly after the President left Nigeria for the 23rd Ordinary
Session of the African Union’s Summit of Heads of State
and Government.
According to his itinerary released by his Special Adviser
on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the President was
initially scheduled to return to the country on Friday after
the summit.
But, the President, who visited EMAB Plaza on Friday,
urged Nigerians to bear the pains and restrictions that
could be imposed on them as security agencies work hard
to end insurgency in the country.
He said even as the President of the country, he had been
having his fair share of the pains associated with
containing the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents as
he could not go to everywhere he would have loved to visit.
“We all bear some pains, from the highest to the least
because as a President, I may not go to everywhere I
would have loved to go, these are some of the challenges I
have to face,” he said.
Jonathan had in May, 2014 called off a visit to Chibok, the
town where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko
Haram members on April 14, 2014.
He was scheduled to stop over in Chibok on his way to a
conference in France.
Jonathan, while speaking at the Abuja bomb blast scene,
described the insurgency as one of the darkest phases of
the country’s history.
The President, who arrived at the scene at about 11:10am,
was briefed at the spot where the bomb went off by an
Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Suleiman Abba.
He was accompanied by the Minister of Health, Prof.
Onyebuchi Chukwu; his Chief of Staff, Brig.-Gen. Jones
Arogbofa; and other senior government officials.
Jonathan spent about five minutes before moving under
tight security to the Maitama District Hospital where those
who sustained various degrees of injuries in the explosion
are being treated.
After he was conducted round the wards where the injured
victims are being attended to by the hospital’s Chief
Medical Director, Dr. Adetoun Adetimehin, the President
spoke with journalists.
He said it was regrettable that while some Nigerians were
busy engaging in nation-building, others were busy killing
their compatriots.
Jonathan assured that the perpetrators of the act and their
sponsors would be arrested and brought to justice.
He assured Nigerians that insurgency would end.
Jonathan said, “It is quite regrettable and extremely painful
that when some Nigerians are struggling, thinking about
how to contribute to the nation’s development, they are
working very hard to take care of their families, train their
children, others are busy planning to kill people, intimidate
people, destroy peoples’ property. It is regrettable.
“It is one of the darkest phases in the history of our nation,
but surely we will get over it. Some other countries have
passed through such cloud before and they were able to
overcome it and sail through.
“We share the pains of the people who have been directly
affected, the pains of their families, but we will surely pass
through this ugly phase of our history. The perpetrators of
this, those who are directly involved and those who
sponsor them will surely be brought to book.
“I will use this opportunity to continue to plead with our
citizens that under such situation, security operatives will
come up with different options that sometimes will create
some inconvenience for us, instead of condemning them,
let us bear.
“Even for our citizens, under such condition, we have
reached some level of restrictions and some pains, instead
of shouting and insulting security operatives, let us give
them maximum cooperation, give them relevant
information.
“All countries that face terror suffer the same thing,
citizens give maximum cooperation to the security
operatives and help to contain and control, surely we will
get over this.
“We are all mourning. I remember that very day we had a
football match to play and all Nigerians were celebrating
the Eagles hoping they were going to win, then this act
came up, I was airborne then, it was when I got down in
Malabo that I got the information. Surely, we will get
through this.”
