In general, to understand the reasons that kept the couple together. When searching for the marriage, the studies of gender subjectification is needed to understand the complexity of the influences, changes in society, echoed in the social roles and relationships between men and women. These changes reverberated socially, economically and culturally, leading to a crisis in masculinity, among other fields, the principles that guide the family and therefore the marriage in the care and choice to bear children. The theoretical and methodological procedures consisted of: a) project submission to the Ethics Committee of the Center for Health Sciences, b) selection of subjects by the researcher's network of relationships, c) telephone or in person with the primary informants for verbal agreement to join the study d) personal encounter with the subjects to explain the research objectives and deliver the term of consent, explanatory document which summarizes the goals of research, e) that the interviews were audio taped and transcribed. As the analysis it was considered the guidelines of Minayo (1992). The informants were three couples with 4-6 years of marriage, with children, aged between 30 and 40. Gestalt analysis was performed. The result points to the conclusion that marriage in postmodern society ceases to be a binding obligation by way of passing the permeate a healthy choice and favoring the emergence of autonomous elements such as love, trust, dialogue, listening and hence an interaction within intimate relationships healthier.porAcesso AbertoCasamentoCônjugeTerapia GestaltConflito familiarRelação conjugalDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIA::PSICOLOGIA SOCIAL
