Abstract

 The present study, part of a larger investigation on remarriage with the ex-spouse, aims to examine the effects of personal values on the reconstruction of a marital relationship with the former spouse. A qualitative study was carried out, where 12 individuals of 12 different couples from Rio de Janeiro’s middle classes population, were interviewed - heterosexuals, married to the ex-spouse, with children. The content analysis method was used to analyze the results, and the personal values category and its subcategories, marriage conception and religious beliefs were discussed. Findings indicate that personal values are part of the foundation that underpins the chosen direction for the reconstruction of these relationships. As they followed the paths they chose, the spouses, aware of what they valued most and the investments, reported to feel pleasant sensations, as peace, harmony and security that facilitated this process consolidation
