Q: "Do you agree with my former high school teacher? That we subconsciously look for traits of our parents in our future spouses, or possible spouses? Basically the person you are dating at the time..."
I could understand how this would be the case for many. This scenario reminds me of the conversation we had in class this past Friday on how we subconsciously tend to follow similar careers/religious paths to those of our parents/ older siblings. Growing up, when we think of going to college of finding a job, we automatically think of what those closest to us have done, simply because thats what we have been exposed to the most. It would make sense that we would be drawn to individuals who have similar characteristics as our parents when looking for a spouse, because our parents are typically who we think of when we think of nuturing/raising a child. Also, our parents are theoretically people who have cared deeply for us, and are people that we feel very comfortable around. Who wouldn't what these qualities in a future spouse?
Might this work in the reverse fashion for parents/siblings we don't get along with?
