Marriage is an ancient institution, with important psychic, cultural and social functions for its members. Being the primary basis for the constitution of the family, and being the formation that consubstantiates the human bonds, marriage is generally considered as one of the most important and significant events, both in psychic terms and for society. However, in the concrete experience of each couple, there are innumerable challenges that the union of two beings as dissimilar as man and woman represent. The conjugal bond is loaded with desires, longings, frustrations and achievements, and it can represent one of the definitions of personal happiness, and it can mean crises and psychic suffering for those involved and people next to them, especially the children. So, treating the couple can have great reflexes and consequences on the mental health of the whole family. This work will present several vignettes of psychotherapeutic treatments performed with couples, based on the psychoanalysis of the link configurations.
