RESUMO

The general purpose of this research was to identify any possible relationships between Robert Steinbergs "Love Stories" and couple satisfaction. 50 heterosexual couples, married or consensually living together, constituted the sample. Research specific objectives were: to identify "Love Stories" which were considered the most adequate to predict couple satisfaction; to verify if there were any similarities between men and women "Love Stories" and between those to which they either identify themselves or would like to reply on their own lives; to verify if there was any relationship between the wish of living a specific "Love Story" and the persons own "real story". Main findings were that the "Love Stories" of which the scripts were more socially adequate were those which were identified as having more positive prediction power, while those the scripts of which were socially inadequate according to the couplescurrent cultural patterns were those which were considered as presenting negative prediction power for couple satisfaction. Couples presented similarities on relation to "Love Stories" they identify to with either more or less intensity and in average they were satisfied with the "real living stories" of their couple relationships.
