Résumé anglais Colette Carisse : Conjugal accommodation and social network in bi-ethnical marriage in Canada. The author uses the cultural difference existing between husbands and wives of different ethnical origins (french-canadians ; english-canadians) in order to study conjugal accommodation. This accommodation is reduced to three forms : the husband wins, there is a compromise, or the wife wins. The husband or wife wins when, in a given behaviour, they refer to ther own culture, with little or no concession to the other's. The study bears specifically on the relation between the accommodation in inter-family relations (measured by the language used) and the accommodation in the composition of the social network (measured by the ethnical origin of family and friends) . The author comes to the conclusion that the liberty to choose members of a social network favorises a compromise situation where neither husband nor wife wins. One can make the hypothesis that this compromise relieves a highly conflictual family situation, and that generally speaking, freely chosen contacts with members of a social network can serve as an affective support reserved all too often in contemporary sociology to the family unit.
