Couples Merging Identities

There is a well known phenomenon that pets and their owners look alike.  Well, I take that phenomenon one step further and apply it to human beings.  More specifically, speaking of couples  in romantic relationships.  I’ve noticed that couples who are seriously committed to one another tend to ”merge” their identities.  They end up looking more and more alike each other.  Take Jessican Simpson as an example.  When Jessica was involved with Nick Lachey, a former boyband member from 98 Degrees, she carried herself with much of a teen pop/Hollywood appeal.  But now that she is dating John Meyer, she has, in a sense, “downgraded” her image to a more t-shirt/jeans, laid back kinda gal.  She even died her hair brown to match Meyer’s hair!
