How alike are you and your husband or wife -- or, you and your best friend? Probably more alike than you realize. A study of twins shows that people's spouses and best friends are much more similar to them than was previously recognized -- about as close as brothers and sisters. The research also suggested that the preference for partners who are similar to us is partly due to our genes.

The research was conducted by J. Philippe Rushton and Trudy Ann Bons of the University of Western Ontario. Their findings are reported in "Mate Choice and Friendship in Twins: Evidence for Genetic Similarity," published in the July 2005 issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the American Psychological Society.

Several hundred pairs of identical and fraternal twins, their spouses, and their best friends were sent a 130-item questionnaire that measured social background, personality, and attitudes. Twins turned out to be as similar to their spouses and friends as they were to their fraternal twins, though not as similar as they were to identical twins. The spouses of identical twins (who share 100 percent of their genes) were also more similar to each other than were the spouses of fraternal twins (who only share 50 percent of their genes); the same was true of twins' best friends.

i read an article a couple of years ago.
there was a study and apparently couples also look like eachother aswell

bs. that sample is completely biased of middle classed white americans, absolutely ridiculous as a universal psychological theory.

regarding the topic, opposites attract. whether or not opposites can be friends/lovers depends on cultural norms. maybe people break norms though, and they find that opposites getting together is much more interesting and much less boring... my opinion anyway...

also, just because two people are similar isn't because they started out as similar! many people start off as opposites and become similar after being together!

i can see what you mean with your comment.
But dont you think that the personality of a couple are similar, because thats why they get along so well? im not talking about 5 years down the line when theyve obviously had to adjust certain habits etc in order to get along - im talking about earlier on in the relationship, e.g. when you actually sit down with your other half and you see that you both have v.similar opinions, tastes, etc... when u notice at the beginning that theres a spark btwn you two...

well i think it is true when two person are similar, at special situations they understand each other like no one else does.
