      Hello again Lexie Adams, I’m not sure that married folks do “begin to look like one another”, it may just be the case that some people select others who have similar interests so they might also like similar style clothes and colours so wear matching clothes. Well, I don’t know really! Huma 🙂

      Hi Lexie,
      What a great question! I don’t know much about this but I have read some psychology papers that say we might be more attracted to people who look like us. So we end up with people who look similar to us to begin with. And then as Huma says we probably start took look more like each other in choices. Its a really interesting part of evolutionary biology. I wish I knew more about it!
