The focus of the study is on the way that older married persons living, or having a spouse living, in a long term care institution perceive their marriages following relocation. A qualitative analysis of interviews was conducted. For noninstitutionalised spouses four main themes emerged from the data: "marriage as a memory", the "illusory marriage", the "changed marriage", and the "continuing marriage". For institutionalised spouses three themes emerged, including the "happy marriage", the "detached marriage", and the "altered marriage". Relocation did not appear to have a direct impact on the way respondents perceived their marriages. Continuity theory was helpful in understanding these marital perceptions.
