Neuroscientists Confirm That Our Loved Ones Become Ourselves
 

"The correlation between self and friend was remarkably similar," Coan said. "The finding shows the brain's remarkable capacity to model self to others; that people close to us become a part of ourselves, and that is not just metaphor or poetry, it's very real.

"It's essentially a breakdown of self and other; our self comes to include the people we become close to," Coan said. "If a friend is under threat, it becomes the same as if we ourselves are under threat. We can understand the pain or difficulty they may be going through in the same way we understand our own pain."

If both husband and wife are like you and me, it will never work out. One person compromises for the other, that's how relationships work. Watch Mr.Perfect.

Are you recommending that people should marry someone who is not like them so that they end up like the other person?

I only read the concluding sentences to be fair.

Speaking of fairness, cups and saucers: Irani Chai and Osmania biscuits below. Equal chai in the cup and the saucer and two biscuits to share. A fair world indeed. 🙂
