O presente estudo, parte de uma investigação mais ampla sobre o recasamento com o excônjuge, teve por objetivo compreender como a expressão do amor, a partir dos componentes da teoria triangular do amor, contribui para a reconstrução desse tipo de relacionamento. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual foram entrevistados 12 sujeitos independentes, de camadas médias da população do Rio de Janeiro, heterossexuais, casados com o ex-cônjuge, com pelo menos um filho em comum. Para análise dos resultados utilizou-se o método de análise de conteúdo, sendo discutida a categoria atributos do amor e suas subcategorias: intimidade, paixão e decisão/compromisso. Constatou-se uma proteção natural ao relacionamento por meio dos atributos dos componentes intimidade e decisão/compromisso, formando o amor companheiro, reforçado por doação genuína.
