      While it may seem like couples become more physically similar over time, studies have found that couples do not actually become more alike in their facial features. Instead, couples may appear to look alike due to the familiarity effect, where they are attracted to and choose partners who already resemble them to some degree, or through shared lifestyles and behaviors that can lead to subtle changes in appearance.
