Abstract

It has been observed that the society in last the forty years has had a vast changeability and the conjugality is being affected in expressive way, noticing a search in answering to the yearnings of the spouses. After the 60th, the culture occidental prioritized the autonomy and independence. The conjugal link delineated two poles in an interaction of achievement of itself and the other: the belonging and the individuation. Thus, the couple contemporary is collated by two paradoxical forces that Wound-Sheep (1998) calls “the difficult conviviality of the individuality with the conjugality”. The ideals of the individuation stimulate the personal autonomy of the spouses and, on the other hand, they emphasize that the couple must support the growth and development of each one, appearing the necessity to carry through the personal desires and the conjugal projects. According to some authors, to value the individual spaces, many times means to fragilizar the conjugal spaces; in a similar way, to fortify the belonging demand almost always to yield ahead of the individuation. In this work the dimensions of the conjugality in the perspectives are approached sociological, theological, Biblical and of the Teaching of the Church, observing themselves the implications that emerge of the interactions of the couple. From the experiences of the researcher next to groups of on couples to the Church Catholic, in this exploratory study, our interest was to verify the influence of the spirituality of the Teams of Ours Lady in the couples of this movement, front to the individuation and the belonging. We tried to understand as these couples deal with situations of the culture contemporary, who emphasizes the autonomy of the individual, as well as analyzing the dimensions of the charisma one that they favor the relations of belonging between the couple. The qualitative boarding for the passage of the study method and for the construction of the script of collection of data was used. Interviews half-structuralized with four pertaining couples to this movement had been carried through catholic, residents in Salvador. These couples are of middle class, of different quarters and social standards that if they equalize. In order to preserve the identity of the couples, them they had been renomeados in fictitious way. For the analysis of the data, gotten by means of the interviews, we use the technique of thematic analysis of content. For the treatment and the interpretation of the gotten data, we listed two dimensions of the conjugality: one characterized for the individualization and another one for the belonging, being the two constructed from literature on the subject that is abundant and consensual. The information supplied for the involved couples in the research had demonstrated that most of them tends for the dimension of the belonging, notably fusional, disclosing that the interviewed couples present characteristics that approach more them of they differentiate what them. But the data had also pointed with respect to the influence of the process of individualization in the conjugal experience of these couples, disclosing the resonances of the modern ideas in the field of the marriage. Thus, they coexist in the story of each interviewed the two studied dimensions.
