Conjugal and parental roles : a comparative study of French and German laws
Through a comparative study of French and German legislations, we can assess the progressive evolution of the rights of men and women towards an egalitarian relationship, both with respect to their conjugal relationship and their parental role. The two legislations converge both at the time of the creation of the couple through marriage and at the time of its dissolution through divorce. This convergence may be seen in parental authority. In France, since the law of January 8, 1993 was passed, both parents are intrusted with parental authority thus permitting the parental couple to last longer than the conjugal couple. A similar reform is in progress in Germany. Certain difficulties, however, subsist as far as the pratical implementation of these legislations for mixed Franco-German couples is concerned.

The couple is one of the most significant categories of the way that mentalities, social behavior, patterns or practices of everyday life are being redefined in the post-communist period in Romania. Starting from a brief presentation of the state of knowledge about the couple in the Romanian secondary literature, the article focuses on a double deconstruction. First, the author shows that, nowadays, the couple is a discursive category, especially visible through the demographic, legal and also political discourse. Then, life couple is an object of study in the field of political sciences that can provide insights into the overall functioning of the social and political life in the present period of transition.

Romantic partners' daily coping behavior can be viewed as a context for one's own coping. These three studies found that individuals were more likely to cope actively, seek support, or use alcohol, food, and drugs as means of coping when they perceived their partners doing so on a given occasion (Study 1, a cross‐sectional study) and when their partners reported using these strategies (Studies 2 and 3, longitudinal couples studies). These effects were evident regardless of whether or not one partner was dealing with an acute stressor (Study 2) or if both partners were dealing with day‐to‐day hassles (Study 3). Although these patterns are correlational, they raise important questions about how individuals choose to cope with acute stressors.

Dans une démarche psychopathologique s'efforçant d'articuler les formes normales et pathologiques de la vie du couple âgé, l'auteur examine successivement l'économie libidinale et la topique du couple, avec les bénéfices et les dangers de la régression libidinale et le devenir de cet espace fantasmatique commun qu'est l'espace potentiel décrit par Winnicott. La clinique nous fait voir dans cet espace propre du couple le lieu d'élaboration des fantasmes d'omnipotence, celui de la confusion aussi bien positive que négative et de la création nécessaire lorsque la relation conjugale devient relation d'aide et de soins.
