【内容提要】近年来，律师事务所在婚姻危机中的介入日益深化，成为形塑婚姻亲密关系的不可忽视的行动主体。基于田野观察与深度访谈，本研究揭示了家事律所如何通过转译情感危机、组织时间进程和重构财产关系等方式，将婚姻危机转化为可以市场化方式解决的问题。通过重构财产的文化意义，律所策略性地赋予财产情感承诺、责任约束与生活保障等多重意涵，使财产问题成为处理婚姻情感危机的核心。亲密关系在法律化、契约化与市场化实践中被重构。这一过程可被概括为“亲密关系的理性化重构”，即在制度与市场的共同作用下，婚姻情感关系被纳入理性框架，变得可计算、可评估、可操作。基于家事法律服务这一具体场景，本研究揭示了家事律所作为市场主体介入婚姻的实践逻辑，呈现了当代亲密关系在经验层面被理性化重构的具体路径。

The Rationalized Reconstruction of Intimate Relationships: Strategic Practices of Family Law Firms in Intervening in Marital Crises

Abstract: In recent years, law firms have become increasingly involved in marital crises, emerging as important actors in shaping and managing intimate relationships. Drawing on ethnographic observations and in-depth interviews, this study examines how family law firms intervene in marital crises by translating emotional crises into legal issues, structuring temporal processes, and reconfiguring property relations. Through these practices, marital crises are transformed into issues that can  be  addressed through market-based legal services. In particular, law firms strategically endow property with multiple cultural meanings—signifying emotional commitment, enforcing responsibility, and securing future well-being—making it a central mechanism in managing marital crises. This article conceptualizes these dynamics as the “rationalized reconstruction of intimate relationships”, a term referring to the process through which intimate relationships are rendered calculable, assessable, and actionable under institutional and market forces. Focusing on concrete legal strategies, this study shows how family law firms, as market-based professional entities, intervene in marital crises and contribute to the rationalized reconstruction of intimate relationships in everyday practice.
