Abstract:
A study of temporality in human encounters and specifically in amorous relationships is
presented. The article aims to analyze subjective and experiential time, focusing on the relationships and the difficulties involved. A review of the theoretical and phenomenological
understanding of temporality that gives rise to the Chronogenesis model is made. The authors describe time processing in a couple’s experience through an analysis of fictional literature and clinical vignettes. Moments of dialogue are addressed to focus on the relationship as an emergent process, the co-construction of the relationship, ‘‘weness,’’ and a sense of future possibilities in which the partners reposition and negotiate.
