Estilos De Vida Líquidos: Casais Dinc (Duplo Ingresso, Nenhuma Criança)

Abstract

In contemporaneity, new family arrangements arise, such as couples with dual income and no kids (DINK). The DINK family arrangement is the object of this study. Their lifestyle is investigated through the triangulation of methods and techniques using qualitative and quantitative research. As evidence, we can single out a fluid lifestyle, typical of post-modernity, that values freedom to follow unconventional paths. Even if it is a specific subculture, heterosexual couples without children have diverse lifestyles: the cocooned prioritize their homes; the resigned have a moderate affinity for their houses, do not take care of their health, and love technology; and the espoused, who among the in-groups, prioritize their spouse.
