Abstract
Analyzing the evolution of the family institution and understanding how to build emotional relationships in married life has been one of the main concerns of modern social theory. Accordingly, the present article, using a qualitative study and adopting a phenomenological approach and using thematic analysis, seeks to answer the question of how couples experience fidelity and what semantic classifications the concept of fidelity has in the contemporary life of Tehrani citizens. The data collection tool was in-depth and semi-structured interview. The sample size included 31 interviews with women and men who were married for more than one year. The sampling method was based on the purposive sampling strategy and each interview lasted between 50 to 90 minutes. The findings of the research show that there are 3 distinct views on fidelity in married life: The first view of which is that fidelity is long-term and inviolable. Another view considers fidelity as fluid and changeable. And finally, a view that considers fidelity as a restorative and renewing issue that is read and invented within married life.
