This article aimed to describe the conceptions about intergenerational patterns of attachment in the conjugal and parental relationship of the members of the couple. 10 participants were interviewed, comprising five hetero-affective couples who had at least one child between zero and six years old. The interviews were analyzed using thematic categorical analysis, with the aid of the Atlas-ti software. It was found that attachment patterns are transmitted intergenerationally from the family of origin for generations to come, recursively influencing conjugality and parenting. Women showed more patterns of discontinuities than men, especially in the current parental relationship. In turn, men stressed the reference of their own parents' marriage and the values of marital commitment they received, motivating them to repeat such patterns in their adult love relationship. Such results provide reflections for the promotion of quality in family relationships.
