摘 要：The present study consists of verifying the relation between life events mid intimacy and relational satisfaction in men from 40 years of age. The sample consisted of 70 males aged 40 years or older （M= 51.6, SD = 8.1）. In order to obtain the results, all the described life events were analyzed and the intimacy and relational satisfaction questionnaire, ＂Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale＂ （RDAS） was used. It was confirmed that there were significant differences in intimacy and relational satisfaction, comparing the subjects who pointed out very positive life events with the subjects who pointed out very negative life events. Regarding to the first group, there was a greater degree of satisfaction with intimacy, a greater agreement between the couple, a higher participation in joint activities and few disagreements within the relationship. However, the duration of the relationship and partner age are higher in the second group. It was also verified that subjects between 40 and 50 years old presented a higher degree of satisfaction with intimacy, comparing with subjects between 51 and 79 years, although the latter had longer relationships and that partner age was older.
