Abstract

This original article offers a theoretical reflection based on the epistemology that supports narrative practices. We are stories and participants in stories generated from relationships, among which we find the marital relationship that, while present, becomes the center and starting point for the family system. The work emphasizes the quality of this relationship, believing that conflicts, differences, and multiple truths exist and are opportunities for marital encounters and misunderstandings. The aim was to offer an understanding that, based on a not-knowing stance, dialogue, externalization, and re-authoring are good practices for the dynamics between couples. Throughout the text, we explore authors such as Michael White, Harlene Anderson, Marilene Grandesso, and others who are also references in these concepts, and we offer original metaphors that connect theory and practice, making them accessible beyond the therapeutic environment.
