Resumo: The present article sought to understand the perceptions of college professors about their marital satisfaction (MS) and the influence that work has on their conjugality. A qualitative study which was made through interviews with six teachers (three of each sex and ages ranging from 34–50 years) was carried out. The content analysis of interviews generated three categories: (i) MS: definition and evaluation; (ii) their work routines and their partners’; and (iii) Teaching Job and Conjugality relationship. It was found that the MS was set from different elements (companionship, sexuality, confidence) and it was evaluated positively by professors. The work routine (their own and their partners’) was described as quite intense making the time for the marriage and family life quite short. The physical distance in addition to the time spent away from the children and spouse as well as the need for taking work home were mentioned as obstacles to MS. The study concluded that trying to fit work in marriage/family life, which are two central spheres to human well-being, is a challenge for these professionals.Keywords: marital satisfaction, teachers, conjugality, work-family relationship.

Realizou-se um estudo de natureza qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas a seis docentes (três de cada sexo e idades variando de 34–50 anos). A análise de conteúdo das entrevistas gerou três categorias: (i) SC: Definição e Avaliação; (ii) Sobre as rotinas de trabalho próprio e do(a) companheiro(a); e (iii) Relação Conjugalidade – Trabalho Docente. Verificou-se que a SC foi definida a partir de diferentes elementos (companheirismo, sexualidade, confiança) e que foi avaliada positivamente pelos docentes. A rotina de trabalho (própria e do/a companheiro/a) foi descrita como bastante intensa, limitando o tempo destinado à vida conjugal e familiar. A distância física, o tempo passado longe dos filhos e do/a cônjuge e a necessidade de levar trabalho para casa foram mencionados como obstáculos à SC. Conclui-se que se constitui um desafio para esse profissional tentar conciliar vida conjugal/familiar e trabalho, duas esferas centrais ao bem-estar humano.Palavras-chave: satisfação conjugal, professores, conjugalidade, relação trabalho- família.Unisinos2018-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2018.111.0710.4013/ctc.2018.111.07Contextos Clínicos; v. 11 n. 1 (2018): Jan-Abr; 83-961983-3482reponame:Contextos Clínicosinstname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2018.111.07/60746229Feijão, Georgia Maria Melode Morais, Normanda Araujoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-06-05T17:22:08Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/12570Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicosPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/oaidfalcke@unisinos.br||periodicos@unisinos.br1983-34821983-3482opendoar:2018-06-05T17:22:08Contextos Clínicos - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
