In this paper, we consider some possible features of 'invited stories'. In so doing, we demonstrate some methods by which members might constitute their social world by, in and through their talk. In particular, we show how members might routinely constitute marriage as a social organization in our culture in displaying its 'features' and 'troubles' in their talk. Our discussion is based on the transcriptions of a number of tape-recorded accounts of marriage breakdown which were collected by a third year undergraduate student in sociology in order to gather materials for a dissertation. This student asked some of her fellow students, whom she knew to have experienced breakdowns of their marriage, to tell how the breakdown happened. In this paper, our analysis relates primarily to two of these accounts, which are reproduced in the Data Appendix at the end of the paper. We request that readers should look at them before continuing with this paper.
