This research was conducted in order to analyze the relationship of a couple living in cohabitation in the city of La Paz. Based on the identification of the concept of love, the kind of love story, the expectations, the marriage contract, the form of family organization, parenting relationships and relationships of the families of origin of the couple. Using information obtained through a depth interviews held individually studied under the thematic analysis. The research was based on the theory of Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love and Other theories belonging to other categories. Within results, throughout the interview, two new categories (story of love and expectations) were increased and other sub-categories were eliminated by obtaining a deeper scope in relation to the objectives originally intended to achieve. It was concluded that the two new categories affect and are central to the relationship of the couple and are related to the concept of love found in couples. Regarding the decision to live in union concluded that the couple chooses this type of coexistence because they consider marriage as a legal contract that does not guarantee stability in the relationship nor is it necessary to raise a family besides being a kind of "anti-romantic" union.

Keywords : concept of love; love story; expectations; marriage contract; family organization; parenting relationships; families of origin.
