As it turns out, more often than not, couples tend to share a lot of characteristics, and it’s relatively rare for them to be substantially different. When you think about it, it kind of makes sense. After all, it's often easier to be in a relationship and share your life with someone who sees the world in a similar way.  But did you ever consider that on top of that, couples may even share physical characteristics?
