La relación de pareja es una dinámica de interacción humana que está asociada con diferentes parámetros dependiendo de las características del entorno sociocultural. El objetivo fue analizar los factores que se asocian con la permanencia en una relación en mujeres del Valle de Toluca, Estado de México. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo en el cual participaron nueve mujeres entre 20 y 65 años que, al momento de la investigación, cohabitaban con su pareja en una relación con al menos cinco años de duración. La técnica utilizada fue la entrevista semiestructurada. Los resultados indican que las mujeres demostraron tener habilidades empáticas, conversacionales y de expresión; y se presentaron los estilos de comunicación reservado y positivo. Destacaron los estilos de manejo de conflictos de separación, evitación y de negociación/comunicación, así como el compromiso personal, el moral y el forzado. Se concluye que la empatía, la comunicación, el manejo de conflictos y el compromiso son importantes para propiciar la permanencia en la relación, pero existen variaciones en la manera en que se presentan estos factores entre las participantes en función de su edad y la duración de su relación.
