Abstract
The author presents a personal narrative on marriage and poetic inquiry to show how arts-based research (ABR), ethnographic, and narrative research methods can realize the potential of critical work to critique, expand, and alter dominant discourse that circumscribes family communication research and praxis. Faulkner uses the personal narrative, TEN, to show how critical family communication research can be done and make an argument for ABR in ethnographic and narrative forms as useful for studying identity, subjugated perspectives, and difficult experiences not easily talked about.
