Religious and cultural discourses shape relationships/marriages. The constructed
nature of relationships/marriages opens the possibility for alternative relational
realities. Positioning relationships/marriages in alternative discourses assisted the
couples to construct a preferred relationship narrative. Three couples embarked on
this feminist participatory action research journey - a couple from the Jehovah's
Witnesses tradition,' a couple from the Dutch Reformed Church and a couple from a
Gay Refonned Church. Conversations with the participating couples deconstructed
their relationships. It also enabled the couples to co-author alternative, preferred
realities of their relationships/marriages and to provide rich descriptions of these. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Pastoral Therapy)
