Abstract This article aims to understand and investigate the meanings attributed to the feeling of gratitude by subjects who experience the experience of a loving relationship. This study is based on a qualitative research that used the semi-structured interview as an instrument of data collection, aiming to reflect about presence and development of gratitude in the midst of the fragile relationships that contemporary subjects find themselves. The results expressed doubts and questions, showing the gratitude as a difficult feeling to be thought as well as experienced, but which also appears as something present and of great importance in the life and relationships of these subjects.

Keywords : Gratitude, love relationship, contemporary.
