We surveyed 58 male\u2013female married couples (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009116 participants; 73.33% Mexican American) recruited from the Southwest United States and enrolled in a longitudinal study of relationship functioning. Spouses wrote stories about the greatest COVID\u201019\u2013related challenges they were facing as a couple. To explore associations between relationship satisfaction and the lived experience of COVID\u201019, stories were coded for established narrative identity themes (agency, communion, affect, meaning\u2010making) and themes developed to account for the context of marital challenges (challenge outcomes, couple stress responses, familismo, overriding positive regard). Relationship satisfaction was associated with six narrative themes for wives (0.29\u2009\u2264\u2009|\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    |\u2009\u2264\u20090.56) and three themes for husbands (0.29\u2009\u2264\u2009|\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    |\u2009\u2264\u20090.40). Actor\u2013partner interdependence modeling showed six actor effects and one partner effect for wives but no significant effects for husbands. This research provides novel insight into the challenges faced by Mexican American couples during the pandemic and suggests great promise for using narrative identity research to understand how individuals' narrations of couple stories are linked to relationship satisfaction. Further, our findings suggest that the narrative themes characterizing how conflict is storied by partners within the couple therapy room might be directly targeted as a means to improve relationship satisfaction.\n
